First Line: Brown man, brown man, brown man, brother

Subject(s): African Americans; Brotherhood; Negroes; American Blacks
Brown man, brown man, brown man, brother;
Eyes of sunset, quenched of flame;
Faces etched of pain and glory;
Waifs of splendour now a name.
Brown man, white man, alien dreamers,
Which is ploughshare? No man knows.
Which is seed to plant the moonbeams,
Flower the fields where daylight grows?
