"Black Is The New Black" (Poem)

“BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK”

Black is back to being the new black
Black can’t be seen to be under attack
A new Doctor Who?
You know the Time Lord on British TV
A potential future James Bond
(Yeah it could be Colin Salmon the same actor too!)
Hamilton’s the new Formula 1 racing ace
Setting new targets at a breakneck pace
Tennis Queens in the Williams sisters already exist
Going for gold medals and Wimbledon shields all of us must persist.
Black is the new black
Olympic records set for fastest man and woman on the track
Usain Bolt, Shelly-Ann Fraser and Veronica Campbell-Brown are black
They ran strong from the Caribbean
To show they had heart
They knew this was a race they’d win from the start.
But the greatest feat in the first November week
Saw many colours of people weep
A Black Man Barack Obama elected President of the US of A
That was something that made many people’s day!
We are Black and we’re proud
Singing it out loud…
Yes we did!
A historic moment forever to remember, for kids to tell their kids
Black is the new black
So tell me what do you think about that!
