Black

Pay attention,
Never mention,
this is not an option,
For black humiliation;


Pain , suffer and fear,
All the words who bring tears,
With no hope near ,
Only prayers and gears;


Time is a good teacher,
But always kill his student,
Smart or dumb doesn't matter,
We all the same at the end;

Erase , never look back,
Now it's the time to walk,
to be proud to talk,
And say :"i'm proud to be black".
