stand in amazement
as this colour in my skin
is bathed by streams of sun
the prominence of melanin
exemplifies the proficiency
of my creator,
the glow of this color
defines my valor and
the graphic of this texture
connotes its splendor.
let it not be protested
that this colour is
carried by a lesser caliber
let it not be aired that
this colour is a garment
of impurity
let it be known that
this colour represents
zest and vigor
this colour defies
the plebeian white
and tumults negro.
