Lord_Why_Am_I_Black

Lord Why Am I Black Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black' Lord, Lord. Why did You make me Black' Why did You make someone the world wants to hold back' Black is the color of dirty clothes, the color of grimy hands and feet Black is the color of darkness, the color of tire-beaten streets. Why did You give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair' Why did You make someone who receives the hatred stare' Black is the color of the bruised eye when someone gets hurt. Black is the color of darkness. Black is the color of dirt. How come my bonestructure's so thick, my hips and cheeks are high' How come my eyes are brown and not the color of daylight sky' Why do people think I'm useless' How come I feel so used' Why do some people want to hate me and not know the person within' Black is what people are "listed" when others want to keep them away. Black is the color of shadows cast. Black is the end of the day. Lord you know my own people mistreat me and I know this just ain't right. They don't like my hair.
