I’m a rare breed.
Black is my colourful seed.
Dark and slavery my memory feed.
Hungry and strife my present breathe.
Rejected and wandering because of our leaders greed.

DNA of greatness,
Yet labelled a weakness.

Hard work and sweat from brow,
But a criminal because I’m brown.
My colour branded theft clown
My crime: I’m a black in town.
My fate is always to be gun down

Why should I pay
For my brother’s crime.
Why should I bleed in tears
Cause of the sin of colour.
I’m black yet I’m an individual

I’m from a great race.
And a united earthling with one face,
Towards the eternal grace.
Working together as we graze,
While we raise to heaven our gaze.

Our mind is smoking weed of hatred.
Many are drunk with racism and hate.
Billions spray the perfume of wickedness.
Four out of ten celebrate rape like birthday.
Moral decadence a big sickness than COVID19.

When I break the law treat me
Like a citizen who has sinned
And not the Satan you want to destroy.
Teach me to be responsible and great.
My black skin can also be good.

I’m black but we all bleed red.
We all possess the same essence.
Give me a fertile soil
Of peace and love.
My blackness will
Bear fruits of Happiness.
I’m black but we’re Earthlings.
