Let me start, with this: I am, a woman, And I love, a woman And you may be right, but I am not wrong Just because you love a man, and I don’t You call me, unholy. But how can I be so, When the same god who created you Created me too? And didn’t…
God, Paint my flesh with the colour you want,
For whatever the colour might be,
Black, brown, white or even multicoloured,
By Zara Javed — A Tribute to George Floyd.
I was born, a black boy, but never in my home did they tell me
Never did they warn my innocent heart
That every time I would step out of my world,
We still need equality,
Because one of my family members thought I was the most beautiful in a room full of newly born babies,
Let’s end this racism and not be insane,
Treat every living being equally and not be inhumane.
Like the stars let’s stand up for our people, awaken
My hair, dark as my eyes
Which is black as hardened lava
Strong like my will
Unshakable.
