A River In Egypt Called Denial

I live in self denial
Can't bring myself to realize
Or even admit the truth
That I'm really black

well, an uplifting note: do you know the Nile and the St. John's River in the United states are the only rivers that actually flow in reverse, they are backerds. smile and have a wonderful blessed day, I can't believe I'm so pale in the winter either!LOL
