To Be Black
To be black,
So loved by the sun he kissed my skin
Darkened by his touch
His light radiates from within
To be black
The epitome of beauty
I exude confidence,
Creativity,
Ingenuity
To be black
Is to have rhythm and flow
My hips sway to the beat
Barbeques in the summer heat
To be black
My fro picked to perfection
Braids freshly dipped
Curls down my back
To be black
Is what everyone wants to be
Everything I love to be
To be black
Afro-Mercian me
