Poetry by Robert Grant
African American Royalty nwbka
Three and Thou MONA LISA is on display
To no other would she give her love, for chaste is Thou.
BLACK MONA LISA, for like Thou shoelamight maiden.
For kings and queens chase thee
and faithful was she to her lover.
For no beauty approached her, Thou MONA LISA
Thou world is knocking at your door
to no other would she love.
Don’t try to make someone straight gay
and don’t try to make someone gay straight
I’ve seen so many of them sitting on the sidewalk, crying
And they mesh with someone they shouldn’t have.

The Pot Calling the Skillet Black
And he forgot his roots
And somebody came from the right side of the street.

The Black Sheep
Somebody is lying
The white sheep's parents keeps telling the white sheep that he's the black sheep.
Somebody is lying.
And it was not a black lie. It's a white lie.
Now what one is black, and what one is white?
Somebody is lying.

The Woodpile
And somebody got in the woodpile
No, they did not get in the woodpile
They got married in God’s temple

The "Hi!" Poem
And just because I say "hi" to someone, it does not mean I know them.
And just because someone say's "hi" to me does not mean they know me.
And just because someone smiles at me does not mean I'm going to run away with them
And if you see me talking to someone, it does not mean we know each other.
And you said you did not want me, and no, I'm not going to rule over anybody
And just because I met someone six months ago does not mean I know them.
