LITTLE MISS EBONY
Beauty is a promise of happiness
Beauty is diversification of range
Beauty is liberation from perception and expectations
Beauty is sincerity of a heart felt value
Beauty is epitome of faith and beliefs

Beauty is a requisite like any other
Breaks the heart just like bitterness
An unbearable drive to desperation
A moment’s glimpse of forever
Beauty is not colour
Though black don’t crack
It is certification of polished pearls
It is love of taste and creation of art
Indeed a beholder’s eye and a holder’s heart
Pretty we were born with
Believe within and lighten the darkness outside
Neither a curse nor a misfortune
But fineness of class at its peak
Like a bumblebee or a smilling face
Is beauty to the eyes with insight
It does not detest nor discriminate
It is ambiguous with an ample love
To possess it is to have control
In spirals let us move from the stigma
Shake off the pain in us
In confidence of black is beauty
The darker the melanin the richer the shade
Like a strong cup of cappuccino,
Getting an adult energised through a hectic day
Or a piece of chocolate,
Hyper activating a young one on a dull day
Is the promise of the future held in beauty
When doors of demerits get slammed behind us
Let us pat that weave in affirmation of our freckles
Let us not demolish our concrete towers
In our highness of our monarchy of roses
Let us stride like we own the ground we walk on
Let us not give them our soulful cries
For the rays of the sun runs like gold glows upon reflecting on our skins
For their sight suffers from selective syndrome
Laugh at rejections, smile at stares
Rebrand their scepticism about your edginess
Revamp that sparkle in your eye
Relive the innocence of your smile
Nurture the strength bore in your hips' sway
Dance to the rhythm of the flap of your breasts
Take pride in the baldness of your head
Take heritage of your darker shade
With your head held high in the swiftness of the wind,
Sway on those heels like an army
And when it suddenly rains,
Off goes your shoes and dance in the rain
For those who has reached the heart of life,
Find beauty in all things
Dark, ebony, chocolate, coal…
Get high in yourself
Whatever they name us,
We are BEAUTIFULL!!
