Melanin shields my body
From the harsh
Ever present sun above
And
Grants me assurance
Anytime i catch her rays
That cancer,
Shall
Not prevail over me.
My covering
Halts my youth
From crumbling,
Compelling all
To speculate my age.
Children of Europe!
Do not gaze at my blackness
With contempt,
Nor caste judgment on
Me when a lover of trouble
With
My complexion goes forth
Stirring trouble.
For all ethnicities,
House impurities.

Melanin shields my body
From the harsh
Ever present sun above
And
Grants me assurance
Anytime i catch her rays
That cancer,
Shall
Not prevail over me.
My covering
Halts my youth
From crumbling,
Compelling all
To speculate my age.
Children of Europe!
Do not gaze at my blackness
With contempt,
Nor caste judgment on
Me when a lover of trouble
With
My complexion goes forth
Stirring trouble.
For all ethnicities,
House impurities.
