As the Sun shines...

O! Sun O! Sun

O! Sun, why beat me so?

Spare my tender brown skin

Spare my tender white skin

O! Sun, why do you burn?

Free my precious red skin

Free my precious yellow skin

O! Sun O! Sun

Color me not with ashes

Grant us shady wishes

To be cloaked by a cover

For me, for them and for all

For this i always say a prayer

Sometmies for the rains to fall

Other times i know you can smile

I know it's only for a while

For when night steals day

I'll have other things to say.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A hope for unity amongst diverse peoples. A belief in the sense that problems of race affect all peoples irrespectively and a strong desire to realise that there is beauty in unifying diverse races.
