Worth Of Black. by Emmajinations(m): 4:04am On Dec 13, 2018
You proclaim that black people are coloured
and so deserve less-
less than enough to even strive for more
let alone thrive.
Isn't white too a colour?

I yearn for a new world
where angels ain't always white and dark demons a tight black,
where not only the fair fare well;
the white are wise
and the black lack.

I want a globe of bliss
free of racial tease
and available for lease
to the black and his ease
to the white also;
an everlasting toast to their peace.
Let's help birth a clime
wherein only the content will count,
never the containers' shine.
You know, racial variety can spice our existence too.
If we let it.
-Nonso, Esq.
