TO BE BLACK IS GOLDEN: A POEM
Apr 13, 2024
TO BE BLACK IS GOLDEN
To be black is golden. Let’s realise. Let’s shore up the will
That steel will, our bridge over
Swamps
Streams
Forests
Rocks
Beyond
Discrimination against our beautiful black colour
For
Self-discovery
Of inexhaustible gold mines we are
To be black is golden. Let’s realise. Let’s love, our bridge over
Greed
Hatred
Beyond
Our discrimination against our differing black skin tones
Only then can we best mine
Inexhaustible gold mines we are
