Black

BLACK.
My shadow bask in bliss
Paid dues of past life synchyses
Diamonds on melanin doesn't connote asking amiss
Just like the lips asking for a kiss,
Spread o'er and so is this
Art engineered on the instrumentality of black pen,
Its a race no man will see it end.
Black is bold, black is beautiful.
Love your skin and be grateful
You're wonderfully made.
Be #blackandproud cos it'll never fade.
