One Love
I have always moved
to the beat of my own drum,
never following the fray
or agreeing with the hum,
always swimming
against the cultural current,
that made differing classes
and races abhorrent.
I choose the one I love
I look into his heart,
I hear his soul speak,
I will love he who loves me.
Brown skin of differing shades
is beautiful to me in many ways,
but I have to confess that
the darker it is the more it holds sway.
It has never been about stupid fads,
or mysteries and myths propagated
by the so called upper class,
because I, under my fare skin,
am also blood of the slave cast,
maybe that is why my soul is attracted
to my brethren decedents of our past.
I will never apologize for whom I love,
I will never justify why it is such,
I refuse to be a trophy and,
I will never play the silly fair skinned Barbie.
