I Am Black

I am Black I am the flag I come not from a pack Albeit I may look like it I am from the back The back of Pangaea I am black blooded Just like they are warm-blooded I have been told I can't,won't,couldn't. Being told I can't moments I cherish For I know those moments shall perish I am a black seed incepting into radish I can, I can, I can, I can and I will and I Shall Do anything if I want to ...ANYTHING I am my greatest enemy And yet I am the whole army I am black,fearless and strong But mostly I am black I wait not for donations I donate,I am ambitious They are bishops,castles,Queens and Kings And I? In this world I am born To be the black **** They say stalemate I say checkmate
