My Black is Beautiful

My Black is beautiful

We come from a long line of strong people

We once ruled the land as Kings and Queens

taken from our world we were forced to be slaves.

It was here, in America, where they said that our dark skin,

full figures, and kinky hair was unattractive.

They were wrong.

We are unique people.

We range in color from light skin to as dark as they come.

Our hair ranges from the finer to the kinkiest.

We are still beautiful.

If we are so unattractive, why do they tan to be our color?

Why do they inject their bodies with God knows what to have our curves?

Our dark skin is not to be devalued.

Hold your head up high and embrace you smooth dark skin and curvaceous bodies.

For you are descendetns of kings and queens.

We are powerful beyond measures and smarter than most.

We are BLACK, we are BEAUTIFUL.
