My dark skin

Your light skin

Your white skin

We are all mankind but then

Society paints a picture that does not complete the scripture

That the Father wrote in full

We fuss

We fight

Point fingers at different figures

Taught to hate one another, but I see the BIGGER picture

Joining together

Positivity will reign

Crowns placed upon our heads, Girl, who THEN can debate?

Piercing through with heels and sneakers

We are the dreams of ancestors, We Are Our Sister's Keeper

Hold high the stars and cast down negativity

My dark skin

Your light skin

Your white skin

We Are QUEENS!
