Black Boy

Living in my little world
That cannot be illustrated by word
I didn't choose myself neither did you
Who should be blamed my parents or who

At sunrise I thought it was normal
Young black boy now realises it's a pommel
Why do they hate me I said 
Not my fault hence my color fade

Now sunset but still can't change
I'm a black boy not that strange
Change they say starts with one man
Plea for acceptance, I know you can

Let's all live in peace in same little world
Nature made us different still from same source
