Color of the Skin

Because I am Black People say I can not succeed.

Because I am Black People feel a need to judge me.

Because I am Black I am shun by them in the daylight

Because I am Black I am feared by them in the night.

Because I am Black this was my life.

But, since my Lord and Savior Jesus Has come into my life, I know right from wrong.

Also, people can not judge me, Only God and his Son Jesus sits up high in heaven on the real judgement throng.

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri Date: 11/19/2020 9:14:00 PM A great sweet poem against color racist prejudice and stereotyping. It's nice when whites write this. Kudos. Coincidentally my poem is also on colour. ________________________^===== Plz pleez do read and comment my newest poem too .
Hannington Mumo Date: 8/6/2020 2:50:00 PM A reality-packed masterstroke - kudos! We all truly can if we indeed feel we somehow can...and, well, this age-old fact's been proven too many times to still have anyone toying around with whatever other dogma-tinted contrary opinions.
