Unapologetic

I am unapologetic for the color of my dark complexion skin.

I am unapologetic for the way I choose to walk.

I am unapologetic for the way I choose to talk.

I am unapologetic for the way I choose to dress.

I am unapologetic for my kinky hair, and the way I choose to wear it.

I AM UNAPOLOGETIC FOR LOVING ME AND BEING ME.

GOD BLESS

This is another sagely woven masterstroke on the ever-swelling skunk of even sometimes institutionalized blatant racism, plus its attendant pestilences. I'm again sufficiently sensitized and equally warned at the same time. Dear Debby : thanks a lot for reminding us what we all fully knew ...but what we'd have somewhat sheepishly pretended not to remember, more often than not!

Oh yes power to your uniqueness or difference from others, you don't have to apologise for any colour texture that God has gifted you with, all are beautiful. Kudos for a fab poem. ---- ...Plz pleez do read and comment my newest piece, a prose and do also read the articles and data I have copy pasted in comment section below that poem so you will confirm the matter further.
