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
