Black Excellence
By Robert T. Davenport
In the depths of ebony, a brilliance shines,
A testament to strength, resilience, and minds.
Black Excellence, a force that cannot be contained,
A legacy of greatness, forever ingrained.
From the struggles endured, a phoenix does rise,
Defying the odds, reaching for the skies.
Through centuries of pain, injustice, and strife,
Black Excellence emerges, reclaiming life.
In the face of adversity, we stand tall,
With unwavering pride, we break down every wall.
For we are the dreamers, the visionaries, the bold,
Our stories untold, yet destined to unfold.
From the fields of cotton to the halls of power,
Black Excellence blooms, hour after hour.
In art, in science, in every field we grace,
Our brilliance shines, leaving no trace.
We are the poets, the musicians, the creators,
Our voices resound, igniting the spectators.
With every word spoken, every note played,
Black Excellence echoes, cannot be swayed.
We are the leaders, the change-makers, the guides,
With wisdom and grace, we rewrite the tides.
In boardrooms, in classrooms, in every space,
Black Excellence thrives, leaving its trace.
So let us celebrate this power we possess,
Embrace our heritage, our culture, our finesse.
For Black Excellence is not just a phrase,
It's a testament to our strength, our infinite blaze.
Let us uplift one another, hand in hand,
For together we rise, a united band.
Black Excellence, a beacon of hope and light,
Guiding us forward, through the darkest night.
So let us stand tall, proud and unafraid,
For Black Excellence is the foundation we've laid.
A legacy of greatness, for all to see,
Black Excellence, forever we shall be.
