the single pearl connected to rich gold hung about my dark skin chokes your prejudiced thoughts the deep blue silk on my dark caramel back folds tightly over your eyes it distracts you from my colour and the click of my Italian leather shoes covering my ***** black feet hides the way I sometimes choose to speak it is sad it is sad that there is more difference between the well dressed & poorly dressed black than the well dressed & poorly dressed white - but check your thoughts you know I’m right! How do I know? It is sad ‘cause I’ve been taught and told since lord knows how old to think to feel to hold the same **** views is how I know it is sad that if a child ever happens to me either or neither boy or girl from you, I will arm them with a single pearl
