My skin colourA Poem by Ibthlhal
Am not sorry for the pigment of my skin
Am not sorry for the race that am in For I am black and I love what I am But when did that become an issue For people to choose who dies Who decided that a black mans live don't matter Its inhumane to think we are still stuck in A century that colour still defines what we are When did it get to where people put out camera's To only capture racism without doing anything Where is the justice for all the blood that is being spilled instead of being protected Why is there no peace even when the world is bleeding Children should not be raised to fear their colour Children should not be raised in a community where justice is a myth Where black people should hide that they too bleed But were is the Justice when we need it most black lives matter © 2020 Ibthlhal |
