YES I AM BLACK

YES I AM BLACK

A Poem by Sneha Wassan
"

Love and Respect is all that the society needs! No matter what, everybody should be accepted as Humans! People need to understand the meaning of the motto "Live and Let Live"

"
I was born with a face less fair,
God painted me with charcoal, they said!
So by now you get it, I'm black!
A progeny of the slaves, a colour of destruction and evil fate!
My colour became my identity of atrocious diabolical mind,
Too young to understand,
the world of a bogging vainglorious land.
It never shook me, I never broke,
You tacitly coveted my sight, abdominated me for my colour!
But how could the colour of my skin arbitrate my Destiny and rights?
Your cold stare freezed me at times.
But the growing young lady within, escalated to believe in the heart inside!
You cannot destroy my flesh and soul,
I am a thousand galaxies untold!
My life won't be a recession of the utterly fallacy you created, my character because of my colour has been constantly underrated!
You hate my colour black!
Then why prefer hallucinating about the Lamborghini matte black?
My colour helps you to lit up the light, doesn't it works out the best for a romantic candle light?
Don't forget the classy black shades you wear!
And Doesn't that black tuxedo fits you the best?
Our blood is the same anyways, unabashedly i speak out, we all humans, aren't we same?
Beautiful in every size and shade.
Your credulity won't kill me, your slangs won't hit me, for my skin is not a badge of shame.
Education is what you need, patience is what we have, it is all, the game of one's mindset.
I'm a child of God! Happy and pretty in every phase,
I will stay forever in my lane, graciously magical, in every way.
We're all gorgeous, from the top of our fros to the tip of our toes.
Holding my head high,
I will always Proclaim!
Yes, I am a black child,
Unique and adoring, in every possible way!

"Walking the talk" is easy if you are part of the crowd... silence is most often when the crowd is glaring at YOU...

That is the exact confidence one needs. People will talk!! How you react to them is what the actual .. read more
Lots of truths in this piece that many still can't understand or won't even try to understand. Peace and harmony, nor respect will never exist as long as people view society as "Us" and "them". Thank you for sharing!

My any praise would may fall less at it's deserving as it's so much speaking like molten lava is coming out now!!
I remember still the teases on me at my childhood on my flaws...but now those obstacle making faces popps up really less in front of me...may got wet at my raising voice...As per my experience on such acts I truly believe on your words...Just please don't stop...as they won't stop growing thorns on your way....Great read indeed...thanks for sharing☺

This is really excellent! I agree with you 100%. My favorite line is, education is what you need, patience is what we have. We are all beautiful, black, white, small, fat, short, tall. We are all humans and we need to learn to love each other. You are beautiful and I love that you wrote this.
