Our Color Poem
by Jabari, KC, MC, and GDog
People are the sun.
Red is for our blood that runs through us like perfect sense.
Green is for our land, our community and our feet that we use to stand and to smell the freshness of our energy.
Blue is fresh water that we drink that travels through our blood system and makes us all a beautiful family.
Pink is for the beautiful ladies out there. Every woman, lady, girl is beautiful. All men are beautiful and handsome.
Light-skinned people and dark-skinned people are beautiful no matter what.
It is the love and compassion for our people.
Yellow is the shineful light to guide our way so we can follow it.
