Divine Ebony

By Milen Aklilu

Man Raven

And hazen Man

Divinity exists in Ebony

Evidence of a fine Omen

Warring for a freedom stolen by thieves

Insulted by the humanity we birthed

Taking our might back from Steves

Heroes of our own unearthed

My night is my Power

Epitome of an undying Strength

Legacies that roam the streets with Willpower

Always and forever, time has no Length

Nobody could ever forge true nature’s Signature

Iridescent figures with minds of Gold

Noble beings of a kind so Singular

You have to own your Darkness

To let the light,

Unfold.

I am a current UCLA undergraduate student who has a passion for activism and speaking out on issues that affect us all. I love to use art and poetry to speak truth and share my perspective in this world with the hope of taking us beyond what currently separates us and show us all the common ground that binds us to each other, love, compassion, and a desire to understand one another.
