Still About This Shade

STILL ABOUT THIS SHADE Desirous dark shade, Never faint or fade Until I get lifelessly laid Just as I was made In dust again I am laid Because life's debt fully paid So I'll need no skin aid, Stay sharp as blade, Melanin and glow I don't lack Cos skin doesn't crack No matter how dark Or struggled to make my mark, Blacks don't crack, We stay proud and black.
