Black Man Poem by Ikpi Patrick

Black Man



Black man, black dream,
Black hair, black skin,
Black heart.
When you see a black man know there is danger ahead.
A black man is a killer even before he is.
A black theif is dangerous than a white serial killer.

The white are Christ's descendants while the black man is the devil's child.
All this are really black thing to do.
