Because I Am Black

Black is the color of my hair not my mind...
My mind is colorful
I may be black but my future is shining brighter like the rays of the sun
I am a black African child, nothing can ever change that...
The African spirit within my soul will never died
The color of my skin doesn't define who I am..
I was born black
I will died black 
Black is beautiful
Black is intelligent
I never been in Africa
I was born and raised in Africa
A woman from Africa is my mother
A man from Africa is my father
A child from Africa is my brother
Africa unite and conquer
Home is not where we live
Home is where we belong
Africa my home
Africa my joy
Africa my spirit
Africa my roots
Africa my song
Africa my poem
Africa my continent
Africa my jungle
I  am a black African child with a passion of changing my continent
Not my skin color
Not my hair color
I am a black African child with a colorful soul and mind
