Black Nebula Poem by ENOCH JOHN

Black Nebula, like Nefertiti
You command the banks of the Nile;

Black negritude of the campus,
Your jewels of humility and grace
Sparkle in the shadows of humanity
As adorned with your precious elegance, you glide

Down corridors of time and space;
Your unusual comliness like a rare gem
Firmly planted in the diadem of your regal person.
Would quatrain suffice your splendour to contain,
Or would sonnet be fourteen verses too short?

Your swirling braided hair like a nebula cluster,
Shining beyond the Milky Way.You're
Swifter than Pegasus constellate;
As bright as the magnitude of Sirius
Or Alpha Centauri, lovely one
Growing like a flower among the masses
In humanity's vast and splendid field.

Black Nebula, like Nefertiti,
You command the banks of the Nile;
Black Nebula, like Nefertiti,
You command the sprawling campus.
