To the Coloured Mind

 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!
