RACISM

I wonder why the whites call me black and illicit

Draws tattoos with black ink with a receipt

Faltering on dark alters of separate deceit

For a colour rather than an attribute to this daft dim wit

A chance to frustrate intellectual capacity

Names and colours are lounged as identities

Is colour worth? Is racism a levity?

Or a crime to be opposed to nativity!

How do I shoulder this blame for the younger generation?

How would I explain to the younger brethren?

That colour is now a crime! Thrown fruits are not beaten?

This makes words feel they were never written

Should I cower in fear? Or be ashamed of my colour?

Shall I flaunt it like gold in the auburn?

Sending this message to every racial ribbon

That if black was not good, tattoos will be white and impugn
