Dark Skinned Color Girl

Dark Skinned Color Girl

 

I am a dark skinned color girl

A grand black pearl

I shine divine

A child of the Earth

Of unfathomable worth

I am of the soil

More precious than oil

Black is the color of imagination

Through me shines the light of salvation

I am one with the land

There is a connection few understand

Mother Nature she is alive

Through her we all survive

Africa she is where I dwell

Oh her grandeur and glory I can tell

We are the cradle of civilization

Humanity’s genesis

Knowledge’s origination

Of eternal bliss

I am ordinary

And most extraordinary

A common person

But know the lesson

I am not defined by my dark skin

But rather by the beauty within

Can you even see

The reality

Of me

I am a dark skinned colored girl

And that is absolutely wonderful
