BLACK IS LIT

Posted by Menaye ideas on January 31, 2017

A poem to support Sarah Nana Adwoa Safowaa, face of kasu 2016, in her campaign against skin bleaching

She’s bold
She’s beautiful
She can hold
She’s not shameful
She’s neither fearful

He’s not white
Yet he’s bright
He signifies authenticity
And portrays purity
A great masterpiece

He and she
Are you and me
True beauty tree
Africans, be proud to be
The never ordinary we

Others made us feel inferior
Telling us we are dark
Trying to supress us from being superior
Supremacy, always our hallmark
We’re the originals

We’re bold as letter B
Simple as letter L
We always come first like A
We’re conquerers, ask letter C
We’re royals from the great King K

We’re blacks
The originals
God’s own people
Always capable
Of the impossible

Don’t change your skin
You may regret you did
It gives you protection
And unique identification
Keep it pure, no denaturation

They always said the sun was too hot
Blacks have the most of it
But It makes us glow bright
The world, we illuminate
Because we occupy the best part of it

To the world, we’re the light
We won’t claim it with a fight
We’ve got that dignity since our birth night
Black is not white
Black is lit

Black is lit
Do not bleach
Black is lit
With varying intensities
Black is lit
