What.Is.Black?: The Abyss

By General Steele

Now begins the second phase of What.Is.Black? where you, the people get to chime in on defining this culture from here on out. Our first  representative is General Steele. Brooklyn’s own and military minded he has his own take on Blackness. Salute.

WHAT IS BLACK ?!

BLACK IS NEVER HAVING TO LOOK BACK

ALWAYS FACING FORWARD WHEN UNDER ATTACK

BLACK IS THAT KNOWN UNKNOWN

OR THAT

UNKNOWN UNKNOWN

THE BLACK DOT

OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMES THE LIGHT

FROM NO THING WE MAKE SOME THING

THE ABSENCE OF INNOCENCE

THAT DARK ABYSS

THAT PLACE NO ONE WANTS TO GO

THUS WHERE ALL ENERGY EMITS

BLACK IS THE NEW WHITE

THE NEW GRAY

THE NEW GAY

BLACK IS THE NEW SCHOOL WIT THAT OLD COOL

BLACK IS MY GRANDMA JANNIE AND MY GRANDPA JOE

SCHOLARS SAY BLACK IS BACK

BUT I ASK

WHERE DID IT GO

BLACK IS THE EXISTENCE OF ALL COLORS IN THE RAINBOW MASHED TOGETHER TO FORM ONE INFINITE HUE

IF YOU CAN ABSORB THE SUN RAYS IT WILL BLACKEN YOUR TINT TOO

BLACK IS TOO STRONG LIKE STARING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN

ITS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE VERY BEGINNING (KNOWLEDGE)

….AND WHAT YOU SEE (UNDERSTAND) WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE

BLACK IS SHINY

BRIGHT DIAMONDS FROM BLACK COAL

EVERY BLACK CHILD BORN IS THE PUREST BLACK GOLD

FLAWLESS,

FORMLESS, NULL AND VOID

THAT BIG BANG

WHEN THE EARTH WAS FORMED

AND THAT SOUND WHEN IT WAS DESTROYED

BLACK SOUNDS UGLY…LIKE BLAGHHH!

UNAPPEALING TO MANY

FASCINATING TO ALL Ahhhh

I AM BLACK!

CARAMEL SKIN TONE LIGHT BROWN EYE

BLACK IS ME LIKE THE UNIVERSAL SKIES

WHERE I END WHERE I BEGIN

IS

BLACK

THE BEAUTY THAT HOLDS WITHIN.
