Yellow

YELLOW

Called him yellow?
He must be an Albino!
The point aimed at is this fellow
But the yellow must always mellow
Acting the Shakespearian Othello.
No true friends in the ghetto
Except you are hood and get-on.
Adorned naturally with a color enticing unease,
Jaundice, his name, and "Alfin" joined to his,
Names that causes 'All Eyes On Me'
Wondered what life would be
If he had been a black coffee
L. Custance ask: who are the truly bothersome blokes?
Not the one, the butt of some jokes
But the one his exemplary life chokes
And ends well better than his folks
To remove this dandruff from this shoddy native land
Stand on his watch, he'd be a better brand
This prose, he knew and incubated; 
THIS ON-THE-SPOT POETRY he marinated
Is to accomplish many task,
Ask Ken L. Custance, for instance
Who inspired this lofty lines,
Created and embellished by our great minds.
