I am black when I m born. Inspiring poem by African kid.

-

 When I'm born, I'm black.

When you are born, you are white.

 when I grow up I'm black.

When you grow up, you are brown 

when I'm in the sun I'm black,

When you are in sun, you are red. 

when I'm sick I'm black,

When you are sick, you are blue. 

When I m cold, I m black. 

When you are cold,  you are grey. 

When I m angry, I m black. 

When you are angry, you are purple.

When I die,  I m black. 

When you die,  you are green. 

And you dare me to call me to colored.

Young woman breastfeeding an old man in prison cell

-
This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for Euros 30 million. The painting may look perverse but the story behind is from historical records. The poor man was sentenced to "death by starvation" for stealing a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell. She was allowed to visit him daily but was frisked thoroughly such that no food was taken in. When after 4 months the man still survived with no weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and started spying on her in the cell and to their utter astonishment found her breastfeeding her father to the fullest sharing her baby's milk. The judges then realizing the compassion and love of the woman for her father, pardoned the father and set him free. This piece of history brings into focus how deep is a woman's compassion in our daily lives that men often tend to overlook. ©️ Successful Flow

Beyond the sky

-
  The plain ground calls, Like drop of water falls, Offering bed of roses, A real or an imaginary paradise it poses, Below, I wasn't ready to break more walls. The blue bowl above remained visible, Reminding me to soar - it's advisable, A much more deadly path to thread, Many ascended, felled but I dared, Leaving my footprints there - indelible. Life has never been fair, A heavy oppression seemed to brood upon the air, Covered time and space determines our fate, Not a mere figment of a poet's fancy that you should hate, But I have made my choice like the wretched bearing Sinclair. I choose, my decision -going beyond the tumultuous sky, Bearing all the stifling sensation of pains, I still fly, Because in destitution, I see no sudden gleam of insight, Since I know only by flying higher can I see the light, With the inspired ray in my eyes, I need to try. I'm done dallying in maudlin regret over the past, Since my life is moving too fast, On a fathomless speed of movement,
