BLACK being a colour is adored and considered much classier and iconic as compared to most of the shades but when it comes to human in black, they are considered negligible and less important.
This is dedicated to all those suffering from any kind of bias and are a target of racial difference.
Also, this is inspired by the recent riots and revolutionary movements that took place for the justice of George Floyd in America under the slogan #blacklivesmatter
——————————————————————————
The beautifully black
Loved are the ones
Adored enough,
Called superior
The prettier ones
They do the rule,
Be the exempler
Idolized they are,
The prettier ones
Fairer from the out,
Sharper nose,
Adorned head to toe,
The prettier ones.
Neglected we are,
Ignored by too
Still wearing a crescent smile,
We the darker ones
Why see the face?
Colour defines none
Peep into the heart
Of the darker ones
The fairer weren't pretty
If black wasn't a colour,
It's time we are loved back,
The beautifully black ones.
