              skin pigmentation...

pen to my paper
A slave for a master
The brown in pigmentation
Beautiful dialects
of a Zulu nation
rediscovered
in a queen's eyes.
Her gaze speaks 
like a summer sunrise
befalling the Serengeti
pen to my paper.
Word to my flow
A mixture of color
only poets know...

Pigmentation, melanin
Epidermis covering
Different colours, freckles too
All the above is all of you
 
Virgin born from the womb
Wrinkled, will smooth out soon
In life it serves, protects us all
From many an impending fall
 
Traumas, bruises eventual scars
From falling down, or life's wars
So hail this special covering
Its our body canvas
We are in....

It creeps up behind you
It takes your soul
In a dark state
Everything is cold
Mind is disturbed
Nerves are wrecked
Sucking the blood
From biting your neck
Extinction of the sun
There is no light
No pigmentation
Only pale,all white
Garlic,crosses 
You try to kill
A stake at the heart
Then it'll reveal
Like a cat with 9 lives
But only has 1
It's coming for you
Can't hide,can't run...

Black
The shade of void;
containing 
universes within universes.

Black is the onyx eye of God;
the obsidian mirror of prognostication
the future’s revelations.

Black is the beauty that highlights color;
pigmentation swimming in the void;
abstract muses, dreaming dreams; 
birthing visions.

Black is the liquid zen;
where I become one with the source.

I've actually heard that cohabitation
Can lead to nights of copulation
Which can have negative connotations
And lead to serious complications
Especially if their pigmentation
Shows they're from a different nation
We all adhere to the same orientation
We're all aboard the same flotation
It's Mother Earth there's no imitation
So lay back and get some relaxation
And don't succumb to constipation!...

I wish I was a rare White Raven
Not albino... leucistic... odd genetic defect 
born of single pair black common ravens
minimum pigmentation, eye color flecks

White Raven legends as light bringers,
Subjects of discussions and books
Foretelling world's end, playful tricksters
Extremely rare, unforgettable looks

Let’s spread our wings with our love
Fly through beautiful, infinite places
Leave kisses in the sky, to float with clouds
Then permeate through the drifting gray 
With colorful pigmentation from our hearts
Then, rest in the Sundrops blooming on the ground
	         - Simultaneously -
In each other’s arms, amid bright yellow petals
In brief respite, before we fly again...and again

The drifts move their white weight
as if the heaps themselves
were snowplows.

Again the sky dumps afterthoughts,
the packed mounds are remodeled
under new wind-plantings.

When the land is a white-out,
perception seeks color,
every dot of pigmentation
creates a brilliant question mark
on a blank field.

There are freely moving ghosts
in the swirling air.
I listen to the roof creaking,
as they land
looking for their sky-blue eye....

whether bound and dragged 
behind a pick-up 
‘til limbs slowly dismember
or shackled hand and foot 
then tossed unsecured 
into the back of a rolling 
makeshift coffin

whether judge, jury or executioner 
all don the same hat 
and fancy themselves a God
and your only crime was to exist 
in pigmentation unlike their own

let us not forget our tears
our laughter, our blood 
our date with mortality 
these common threads 
that bind us...

Oh say 
Can we see?
What is country,
What can it be?
Are its citizenry 
Inclusive and free?
What gender is innocent 
In our mist?
What higher moral code
Can we resist?
Which pigmentation 
Or spiritual quest 
Should unite the nation 
For the singular best?
What part of human kind
Must a country keep in mind?
What can a country be
That limits liberty, 
If all these things 
A country cannot be
Then nothing 
In this country 
Shall be free....

A power struggle of the races
doesn't' need to be
as skin pigmentation
is what we simply see.

Though deep within each soul
is more than red, yellow, white or brown
there lives the spark of kindness
and generosity to be found.

An interracial society
brings more that variety
It blends and enriches cultures
and inspires the world to see...

That prejudice and racism
never should exist
just love through integration
where happiness shall persist....

I can’t breathe
Don't you hear the pleas?
I cant breath
We still aren't free,
I can’t breathe
society judged by skin pigmentation.
I can’t breathe
What’s wrong with our nation?
I can’t breathe
Don't you hear his pleas?
I cant breathe 
Hatred and discrimination is what we see.
I can’t breathe 
We are not equal, we are not free.
I can’t breathe
Unarmed black men and boys being shot down.
I can’t breathe
Injustice in America, injustice all around....
