RACIAL HARMONY

I lack the privilege to represent my people
and the history of my ancestors,
because My heart longs for the love forbidden
Not letting In their eyes, I lack the “authenticity”
the cloak of the pitch night enshroud this secret.

In the Glistening darkness
I’m not black, you’re not white
No words between us
none need to be said
Touches speak themselves.

Day and night I see the fire,
that ignites in poeple's hearts.
NOt the yellow nor the purple,
a boundary is what puts us apart.

I fall into your eyes,
Sink into your smile.
I’m embraced by you
and stay there a while.

I’m dark in comparison behind your pale wall
but Behind veins of arrogance, your blood is the colour of mine
I taste your affectation, and you feel my skin,
Our kiss, our hearts, our bittersweet passion,
a lover’s embrace, lost in blindness.
But the paint on the skin is all "they" can see
A distinct difference of black from white, yellow from green.

"They" want us apart
Cause seeing us together gives "them" chills
Gives "them" shivers and scares "their" ignorant minds
They want the greens with greens, blacks with blacks, whites to whites
Because to "them" Colours can’t mix.

And then come those with envy,
their expressions filled with malice.
For them we seem like heroes,
as we wander the streets without a care.

Spoken thoughts seem dead,
Yet you consume all as well.
Nothing we do goes unsaid,
yet in their minds, we know they dwell.

The two of us, black from white.

Never will I be brighter, you’ll never be darkerI hope that this makes you stop and think,
at least for a little while.
Maybe it will change your mind.

All alone with you,
Never far apart.
Tell me you love me,
and I give you my heart.
