Dark skinned are like the night,

Not often seen as beauty’s light,

Yet they hold a power profound,

As the moon brings brightness to the ground.

 

They can shine in the world like stars,

Illuminating dreams from afar.

Dark skinned have a right, just like the sun,

To bring their brilliance; they are not outdone.

 

Black and white are made from the same soil,

So why does colorism cause such turmoil?

Our creator never discriminated between you and I,

So who gave you the right to let judgments fly?

 

We too deserve to live free from strife,

To thrive in peace, embracing all life.

Let us unite and celebrate our hues,

For diversity is a strength we can choose.
