Why Am I Black

I grow envy when

I see white

and their lifestyle.

I ask myself, why am i black?

I ran to mama.

Mama, why am I black?

Mama said

because am black.

Why are you black I asked

because am human.

Why are we all then divided by the sea?

She answered, because Orisha has His reasons.

How can I become white I ask mama

You can't become white, she said

but you can live the way

they live by been happy

because you're you.

Because you're black
