My Black Skin Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

My Black Skin



My black skin

The dark deity
Ohh dear black pearl
Till eternity
Your ebony defeats the ivory
Bow to the sun
Face each day fearlessly
Live your life peerlessly
Fight gallantly
And speak nonchalantly
Of the leeches that sacked our nation dry

Forget not that
You have been stained by grace
And labelled a race
You have seen it all
You have been through it all
Your endurance for your dignity
Your struggle for freedom
You tell tales of our ancestors history
Their wounds that are too deep for tears
Never forget the cause of their fears

My black skin
Bring titles forth
Never forget your worth
Stay true to the soil
On which our kind toil
And our forefathers spirits we lay to rest
Don't loss your ways to the west
Never rest
Fight the oppression
Fend the suppression
become the best
Always stand your ground
Your kinds existence will still be around
Like the wind it will never end
