Canopy of Darkness
My Lord made darkness
His covering
in Psalm 18
blotting enemies
Ezekiel reveals
God will cover
the heavens
and make
their stars dark;
This is the
formation
of a black fist
into a
mighty skyline
The rising of
one red blood

This is written with truth, sir. I can appreciate any black man, such as yourself who stands in his own skin and can recognize his struggles to be a black man in the oppression we have overcome, more power to you, sir, and I do admire you portraying your Afrocentric masculinity as a black Jesus, it is what this nation needs and demand to allow people of color’ voices to be raised in unity to grieve our hardship and not be depraved because we are not of the privileged standards, as you being a black man, sir, and me being an African American female, sir, it makes me glad that we have people like you to stand alongside since we share the same pigmentation, and the same agenda to uplift one another, and for you to always uplift your Black Queen.
#BlackLivesMatter, and please keep bringing your African America ideology to advise in these troubling times, sir

I don’t want to misrepresent myself or shock you, but I’m actually your little sister. I too, am from Africa. The cradle of humanity. A different slave ancestry, black-Irish (looks fair skinned, I admit) but we all came from there. Honing my father and mother means honoring Adam and Eve.
I believe the life living in me is my black Lord, Jesus. He will cover the earth in darkness, and I consider myself a black star, taking a sacred identity on the inner gift I cannot show with natural pigment. Honoring my ancestry, I say, to shame bigots and destroy Privilege, I am black.
A spiritual stand to overthrow oppression. A new idea.
I have ten children with mixed heritage. Again, not dark pigmentation but also a persecuted minority with dark relations.
As Naomi said, “my people are your people.” My Jesus is your Jesus, my Eve is your Eve.
