Indigenous one

Black man! Black man!

How can I begin to portray

A soul as precious as the longest day

I watch you through adoring eyes

To win gods most cherished prized

With skin like coal

Piercing eyes engaging

Stature is strong, robust, amazing

Body is a temple to be admired

Though others don’t compare they can only aspire

To encompass what is beauty in rare form

Mind is complicated and intellectually adorned

I catch a glimpse of you

And cannot contain

What you are with just one name

I see why King was placed as your title

You are the average mans

Earthly idle

Whenever I see you at a glance

Perfection...

It wasn’t by chance

It had to be design that perpetuated this being

A well thought out plan that’s what I’m perceiving

An acclaimed persona

That leaves the knees weak and throats feverishly dry

And causes the soul to jut a sigh

Darkest onyx or creamiest brown

Laughable character with an uncompromising frown

Intelligence and wisdom beyond his years

Insight and innovation outshining his peers

Complex in an unconventional way

A soul as precious as the longest day
