This has got to be the most beautiful poem about todays "BLACK MAN"
Corey, my wonderful black man, this poem is dedicated to you!
WE PASS THEM ON THE STREETS, IN THE MALLS AND THE HALLS AT WORK. MOST WE CANNOT SEE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT A GOOD MAN REALLY LOOKS LIKE.
HE USUALLY ISN'T FLASHY ENOUGH OR RICH ENOUGH TO TURN OUR HEADS. HE MIGHT NOT WEAR A SUIT OR PUSH A LEX. HE MIGHT NOT HAVE A "BODY LIKE ARNOLD WITH A DENZEL FACE." BUT, AS YOU MATURE, YOU'LL REALIZE IT'S BETTER TO FIND SOMEONE WHO'S GOT YOUR BACK THAN SOMEONE WHO CAN TURN YOUR HEAD.
A GOOD MAN DOESN'T AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY. HE DOESN'T JUST TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR AND DO THE OPPOSITE. HE DOESN'T DECLARE HOW SENSITIVE, SWEET, CARING, SINCERE, YADA YADA HE IS (HE WONT BECAUSE IT SHOWS).
HE HAS HIS OWN OPINIONS AND YOU MAY CLASH, BUT HE DOESNT HAVE TO DEGRADE YOU TO PROVE HE'S RIGHT. HE EVEN ADMITS AT TIMES TO BEING WRONG, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO THE SAME.
A GOOD MAN IS NOT GOING TO MEET EVERY ITEM ON YOUR CHECK LIST. HE IS HUMAN WITH FRAILTIES AND FAULTS MIXED IN WITH ALL OF HIS WONDERFUL, STRONG ATTRIBUTES.
HE NEEDS YOUR LOVE AND RESPECT. HE NEEDS TO FEEL THAT YOU DONT LIVE TO "CATCH" HIM DOING SOMETHING WRONG SO YOU CAN DECLARE, "AHA! I KNEW WERE A DOG!!"
A GOOD MAN DOESN'T NECESSARILY GIVE YOU A HUGE BIRTHDAY OR VALENTINE'S GIFT. HE SHOWS HIS LOVE IN THE WAYS THAT ARE MOST COMFORTABLE TO HIM. DONT JUDGE HIM BY TV STANDARDS. NO ONE IS LIVING THAT FAIRY TALE LIFE FOR REAL. YOU'LL MISS OUT ON YOUR OWN FAIRY TALE BY BUYING INTO THE MYTH THAT OUR MEN ARE NO GOOD. IT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
BLACK MEN, WE SALUTE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE AND ALL YOU'VE DONE.
I received this poem in a e-mail, im not sure who wrote it, but i thought it was beautiful.
