I am Melanin

I am evil because of my skin Handcuffed my hands and feet Taught to hate my brothers And feel inferior to others. I have walked through pain and torture For padlocks, my lips they puncture. I have seen slavery and hell Times when my identity fell. I never shook, I never broke My awakening fed fear as they choke. I am heir to the throne I am a god so you know. You cannot destroy my flesh or soul I am a thousand galaxies untold. I am greatness, I am king I am BLACK. I am melanin.
