"Monkey Of Different Colour" A Poem From Wurastories by Kindoo: 8:43am On Apr 02, 2018 |
Because I have dark skin, They call me black. Does it make me a dark hearted being? Evil is what makes a dark heart I am not dark hearted, my land is no heart of darkness. Because I have dark skin, That call me monkey Does my black skin make me an animal? Animals are lower creatures by the master maker I am no monkey, I am a human being. If you call me monkey because I am black, that is what I call, heart of darkness. In as much I am equal being, then you are monkey of different colour. But, I do not agree to be regard as an animal. So I declare without reservation, I am a human of value per excellent. I am a living spirit, with soul in a dark skinned body. Because I have dark skin You look down on me. Does my heritage make me inferior? Inferiority is a state of mind. I am not inferior, neither are you superior. Because of I am dark skinned You perpetually want to make me a slave. Does my dark skin reduce my worth and value? No blame is on you, it is of those who have not outgrown slavery, steering this ship I am in. I am a son, slaves are not born here.
