Black
Created by the same sovereign being.
Separated for the sake of diversity.
We have been ridiculed for our nature
And made to believe we’re inferior.
Our skin has become an object of scorn.
The same element they possess.
We are blamed first before any other, for any bad thing. All
because of our skin.
Like our skin bears a permanent mark of filth.
Made to live like we’re mistakes on the earth all because of
the hatred for our skin.
Is it a crime to
be black? Is it?
To have excess melanin that makes you look like steel? To
have that feature that makes you go invisible in the dark?
Is it a crime to be born in this skin?
Not being able to enjoy the joys of living at the top.
Doubt always creeping in at our innovations.
Discrimination ever dominant at the top society.
All because we are black.
To be linked with animals and being forced to believe they
are our ancestors.
To believe we evolved from apes.
And be made to believe we don’t deserve better treatment
like they do.
To be taken for a joke all around us.
And to be scared to be in our skin.
To be altering what was so beautifully created
Just for us to be recognized.
To wear a blanket to cover the melanin just so the bullying
can stop.
What a joke.
Living together…supposedly in unity, no! in hate and strife,
Blackmagic and spiritism.
For your progress to be hindered by jealous and envious neighbors,
village people and distanced haters, even by who you’ve never crossed paths
with or offended.
It’s sad…really sad…and
bad.
To be made to rethink our dreams and forced to believe we
can never make it, but we can.
We can fight our way to the top. We’ve got rights after all.
We can fight for our recognition, we’re humans after all.
We can put an end to this, we can dream of being less
discriminated than before, (its not like that will ever cease).
We can believe in our capabilities and push past the limit.
We can prove that we
are worth being called humans and that we are all equal, they just have better
top-dogs than we do, and more unity.
But black magic is black magic and it is everywhere.
We can rise in
our melanin.
Let the beautiful melanin shine in the sunlight and let our
night-invisibility be put to good use.
We can show them we are not bad, and that it ain’t a crime
to be in a black skin.
It’s not a crime, right?
It’s just our fate.
Its not like they don’t have the bad qualities we have, it’s
just that we are forced to believe they are “God.”
If they are God, then so are we.
We all have brains
and looks.
We are black.
We can stay in the sun for hours, working- we are black.
The color black is beautiful right?
We are black
And whether they like it or not, we ain’t going nowhere.
We are stuck here forever and there is no way they can wipe
us all off.
We are black.
Strong, powerful, bold, innovative, cultural and always
right.
We are black and we also deserve better.
We are BLACK.
