Black


A black man is seen as a king.

A black woman is seen as a queen.

A black child is seen as royalty. 

But only to those who have the colored skin.

To others a black man is a dangerous criminal.

A black woman is a sexual prey.

A black child is a dirty peasant.

To us you are the cruel and heartless destroyer of life.
