My burden is too heavy to carry
People of my race are dying
One can't walk on the side of the road
without having a bullet pierce
through their melanin bodies
Chocolate,
Caramel,
or brown sugar
I can't accept the violence
SUPPRESS THIS ISSUE !
I demand sacrifice to the wrong guidance
'Cause I can't sit and cry with a tissue
preparing a eulogy
for my blood brother and sister
who've been shot by the minority
I step foot on this ground
and declare an apology
Slave me not
for I am a human
THAT IS BLACK
Can't you see the protests ?
This is not a contest
What happened to the freedom knot ?

Equality and diversity?
- I can't accept the current adversity
Rights and responsibilities?
- But black beings are bein exposed
to vulnerability
Rules and regulations?
- I thought we had amalgamation

World War III ?
No ...
I want us to be free
Ayu Prameswari May 2016
If I had to describe myself as colour
Transcolour, is what I want to be

If I had to explain what it is like
Transcolour, the hue is transparent

If I had the brush to paint it on canvas
Transcolour, no stroke nor stain are seen

If I had let you know its power
Transcolour, reflected ray dispersed a rainbow

If I had right choosing desired pigment
Transcolour, I wish I am as me

(May 2016)
