As A Young Man I Lost My Way.,But Now I Am Again Walking In The Presence Of My Lord Feeling Truly Blessed:..So I Asked: GOD..,Why Did You Make Me Black LORD:Black is the color of dirty clothes, of grimy hands and feet...Black is the color of darkness, of tired beaten streets...Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair?. Why did you create someone who receives such a hated stare? LORD:Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt...Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt...Why is my bone structure so thick, my hips and cheeks so high? Why are my eyes brown and not the color of the sky? LORD: Why do people see my skin and think that i should be abused? Just what is it about my skin.,this black skin that i'm in? Why is it some people want to hate me and not know the person within? Black is what people are "Labeled" when others want to keep them away. Black is the color of shadows cast at the end of the day. LORD: Did you know that my own people sometimes mistreat me, now you know that just aint right...They don't like my hair, they don't like my skin, As they say i'm too dark or sometimes i'm too light. Why did you make someone that the world would just hold back? Why not redo creation and make everyone the same? GOD's Reply: Beloved:I made you the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed...I made you the color of oil, the black gold which keeps your body warm. Blessed:Your color is the same as the rich dark soil that grows the food you need...Your color is the same as the black panther one of my most majestic creatures indeed! Beloved: All the colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found throught every nation...When all these colors are blended, you become my greatest creation! Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool. I am the shepard who watches over thee! You are the color of the midnight sky and thats why i put a glitter in your eyes...Blessed: There is a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...That's why your cheeks are so high! You are the color of dark clouds from the hurricanes i create.,yes indeed. I made your lips so full and thick, so when you kiss...they will always remember! Your stature is strong, your bone structure thick to withstand the burden of time... Beloved: The Reflection You See In The Mirror, That Image That Looks Back At You,THAT IS MINE!...I Didn't Make You The Image Of Darknes. I MADE YOU THE IMAGE OF ME
