Everybody loves coffee
It became Miguel's song
But everyone needs a whole lotta milk in it
They can't handle it strong
When I say strong I mean black
Black has a very wide range
Everyone loves the light end of the spectrum
And I find that quite strange
Tanned and caramel are popular
They are exotic and ****
But chocolate is not attractive
Apparently dark is ugly
Being dark-skinned is looked down upon
As if it is a deadly sin
Many many beautiful women
Feel the need to bleach their skin
Many men have a light preference
Some women reject melanin in chocolate genes
And it is these same people
That do not know how to treat kings and queens
Dark people hate how they look
Because no one gives them a reason not to
They should be taught to love themselves
There is undeniable beauty in African roots
They have hair like fluffy cotton candy
Those with the skin of midnight
They do not need makeup
For they have a natural highlight
Their wide noses are cuter than buttons
And they glisten just when they sweat
If you are lucky enough to kiss their thick lips
You will surely never forget
No one is shaming other skin tones
The point is that dark skin is gorgeous too
Every single person is beautiful
So don't make coffee turn blue
There should not have been a need
For this poem to be written
Because at the end of the day
Beauty shouldn't correlate with the color of your skin
