X Marks the Spot

X Marks The Spot

The Spot us as colored been striving to reach

Mitigated

To ascend at the top of the peak

To take what's rightfully ours as humans

Taking our share of necessity in Life

From being nothing

To become an important part of our

Nation

X Mark the Spot

To be unknown to our own identity,

So we adapt to their living and surroundings

Only to be left Identified as Minorities

To be vexed in the worst ways by law

But still We rise to being the brilliance of our dominion

Future
