I AM COLOR





You never like me around coz I intimidate

My presence bothers you and makes you itch

I can’t help it if I am seen

Can’t help but notice the color of my skin



I am black, brown or yellow

You say we’re human

But never treat me like a fellow



I am color

Spectacular and dazzling

I represent different arts like dancing



My poems are called rap

My house called crib

Always portrayed as a criminal ?

Everybody knows it’s a fib



I am color

I can’t help but stand out

Don’t put me in the cotton field

Where everything is white

You hate it when I am seen

That’s why you robbed me of my rights



I am color

I make the world alive

Picture a world where everything is white

Brrr the world would be cold

Without a soul and cold as Ice



I am color

I am loud as fuck!

You turn green with envy

Whenever you see me strut



You turn to yellow

When I’m in your face

I might have stabbed you

But I walk away with grace



I am smooth and I am fine

My body is gloriously divine

I am athletic and fast

I am a walking cold hard cash



You tell me to forget education

So I’m deprived to run a nation

I trusted you with your lies

But I aint stupid ,I ain’t falling for that twice



I may not run a whole country’s government

But I do rule the world

I am color bitch!

True blue in every single word!!

I would like to thank those who read and appreciated my poems. I like this most especially because I thought I would never see the day, that a person of color will ever run the US goverment, well I pay tribute to those who have sacrificed, lived and lost their lives to make sure that this day would happen!
