Still About This Shade
STILL ABOUT THIS SHADE
Desirous dark shade,
Never faint or fade
Until I get lifelessly laid
Just as I was made
In dust again I am laid
Because life's debt fully paid
So I'll need no skin aid,
Stay sharp as blade,
Melanin and glow I don't lack
Cos skin doesn't crack
No matter how dark
Or struggled to make my mark,
Blacks don't crack,
We stay proud and black.
