RADIANCE

BLACK SKIN

By Will Shimnom SimonPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In the radiance of the night,

Black skin beams with wondrous light,

A beauty hidden for far too long,

But now it's time to sing its song.

With pride, we wear this shining cloak,

A symbol of strength, a mighty oak,

For too long we've been told to hide,

But now it's time to stand with pride.

Our skin, rich and deep as the earth,

Resplendent, a treasure of immeasurable worth,

A heritage that runs so deep,

A history that we'll always keep.

So let your radiance shine so bright,

A beacon of hope, a guiding light,

For black is beautiful, don't you see,

A gift that's been given to you and me.

Let the rhythm of your soul beat,

As you walk with grace down the street,

Embrace the power of your melanin,

A crown of glory, a divine origin.

In the radiance of the night,

Black skin glows with celestial light,

A symphony of hues, a stunning sight,

A masterpiece, a work of art, a glorious height.

So wear your skin with pride and joy,

Let your radiance shine, never coy,

For black is beautiful, a fact so true,

A blessing, a heritage, forever anew.
