PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My skin is black and I'm proud of it,

Born with it, and I live with it,

Being Negro makes me distinct,I love it

Thanks to the Creator, who made me.



Teach me what I may not know,

Give me what I may not have,

But to alter my skin, forget it,

My blackness is indelible,



My skin may be Black as charcoal,

And my hair as dark as Anything,

Even though I got black blood running,

My heart and my mind are white and pure.



I am no less than a person, I've got my worth,

I am not lazy or dull, I've got my work,

Neither am I out of touch, I know my world,

Nor am I lost in the globe, I have my ways.



So I cherish my unique peculiarity,

Am so proud of my historical blackness,

I appreciate my black historicity,

And like the spots of the leopard,

I can't change my Negrity, Never!
