Notes About The Poem

Written July 17 2026 Not for contest

Colorism

Chocolate brown skin is from heaven above
Onyx skin and chocolate kin get no love
Love from within is a necessary teal thing
Only hearts of sin try to tarnish black brain
Really a shame to be racist and hard hearted
I don’t have to blame how it all began started
So many lose sight of God in their own life
May His grace replace hate make it all right
