My Dark Skin

my dark skin
does it mean a crime 
does it identity a criminal
does it mean am below you 
yes you 
who just see nothing else but
my dark skin


my dark skin
does it make you fear
does it upset you 
does it create a hatred in you 
does it mean am not human 
does it mean I have no right
does it mean trouble
does it make you worry 
yes you who see nothing but just 
my dark skin

my dark skin
is it forbidden
does it mean I don't exist
does it quality failure
does it close my origin
does it disqualify my personality
does it disprove my value 
to humanity
actually it points to love 
yes it does to you 
that only see nothing but 
my dark skin
