Lifetime of inferiority,
As perceived by colour,
A colour racism always let turn into fascism,
Whatever the accomplishments, all turned black by white,
For White is the new Black!
I end up doing the menial,
Always hear the heinial.
Always looked down,
Forced to Look up.
For White is the new Black!
I’m silenced by day,
And violated by night.
I championed for the cause,
Am made to rue for the loss.
For White is the new Black!
A day shall come when darkness is positive,
And dawn negative,
For I wait to rule in the night,
As my skin was never favoured in light,
For White is the new Black!
I wait and await,
For a day beyond colours,
To be an accomplice to glory,
For the Intellect to honor me
beyond physicality,
For white to turn grey,
With all the fervor I pray!
An ode to Black panther, in a bid to rhyme!
