I WAS TOLD TO BLEACH.. Princestelek

  

Show me a skin colour that standout
Then, I will show you a black skin
The colour of the mighty men of valour
The skin of the beautiful women of virtue
My skin colour will always be my pride
I will forever pay obeisance to my melanin
For creating me the way I am
Black is bold and of course a gold
I was sometimes and almost being coerced
To exfoliate my very first epidermis
May be to appear like the counterparts whites
The order I refused so blatantly
Instead I carried myself so tall among them
Showing how grateful I'm for my beautiful skin
I agree I'm damnly and extremely black
But yet my heart is purely white and benign
No matter where I find myself
Whether in the congregation of all whites or others
I won't look down on my very self
But instead applaud my creator for moulding me  this way
I will keep re-emphasizing this sermon
That it's good my black skin remains like this
Instead of doing the work of re-creation
Challenging the works of the Immortal
Asking why He created some blacks and some whites
Black is beautiful and black is my pride
No matter my origin, no matter my location
Black shall always be a missile in the comity of colours
