I Am Black and I Am Beautiful

I am black and I am beautiful I know they like me not but I am meaningful To why they like me not, I careless For I know whatever reason may it be, it will be meaningless I am black and I am colourful So why do you make me that sorrowful I am black why do you want me white? You burnt and hurt me almost always To what you apply on me I don’t know I am best for my African weather So why change me any further I am black so leave me just black Change me not for I will always come back I will come back to my original black
