RuNett Nia Ebo Poems
Dear Mr. Crack,
Please give my Mommy and Daddy back.
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers
but when they're with you, I know they're in danger.
...
What happened to the Brotherly Love? Did it whither up and die?
Did it decide it didn't live here anymore? When did it pass us by?
What happened to our Sisterly Affection?
...
Son, It's like I told you,
I was with you from the door
but with no response from you,
I thought you were trying to ignore.
...
In a whirlwind she came; racing throughout the Gulf Coast;
leving much devastation in her path.
When she embraced the land, no one could understand
how God could let the cities feel such wrath.
...
I want to be
a steak sandwich for God:
Covered
with the Bread of Life
...
If I were a Pizza
my prayer would be
that God put everything He loves on me.
If I were a Steak
...
Woman She is the
Wonderment Of Man And Nature
From the day her foot touched the earth,
she changed the world.
...
Happy Birthday Ghana 62 years free
Since 1957, you have had your Liberty.
Mining gold, harvesting cocoa, and salt,
Ghana was striving to take care of self.

The Best Poem Of RuNett Nia Ebo
Dear Mr. Crack (A Plea From A Young Child)
Dear Mr. Crack,
Please give my Mommy and Daddy back.
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers
but when they're with you, I know they're in danger.
Since you've come around, they're never home
and I really don't like when I'm home alone.
We don't live in our nice, big house anymore and
this place is so cold. There's no rug on the floor.
Sometimes, I don't get enough to eat.
Daddy's eyes look funny and Mommy doesn't sleep.
I want my Mommy and Daddy back.
I miss all the hugs and kisses.
Teacher told us all about you;
how you cause pain and you don't grant wishes.
I got new clothes one Christmas but Daddy went and sold them.
I saved $5.00 in my piggy bank but one night, it got stolen.
We can't visit my Grandmom no more.
Since the bike she bought me disappeared,
she won't even come to the door.
Give me my Mommy and Daddy back, Mr. Crack!
Oh, never mind. I know what to do.
I'm gonna tell God.
God can get rid of you!

I love your poem and I love the painting that was posted with it. I’d love to credit the artist. Can you send a link?
Are you the author of " Why Did God Make Me Black" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Hello and thank you. Unfortunately, if the poem is entitled The Black Prayer (that is the title the picture of the little girl is attached to) it is a pirated copy of mine. The one I wrote entitled Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black is posted on my Poet-ify page on facebook in case anyone is interested. Thank you for the kind words. The coloring book is coming soon this year.
I have searched for this poem for a while, just saw it posted on FB, thank you
I love your poem "Why Did God Make Me Black" I would love to see it posted here! I am reading it to my grandchildren for Thanksgiving Dinner today.

Greetings, One of the poems I wrote which is considered my signature piece is entitled LORD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK. It is not The Black Prayer or Why Did God Make Me Black or Why Am I Black, God. those are adaptations of the poem I wrote back in 1994. It is not posted here because it is available for sale in a chapbook, on poster and a children's version is available in a coloring book. Please reach out to me via Facebook or runett.ebo101gmail for more information.
Good afternoon. Ms. Ebo. May a publish your poem " Lord, why did You Make Me Black, " in the December 2020 edition DRUM, a newspaper that celebrates black achievements in Berks County, PA?
