Black Race, a Poem by Abeera Mirza

Welcome to a continent of Fame;

Where black skin is not a badge of shame;

But only depicts freedom fighters,

We are endowed with prolific writers.

We are black and we are blessed,

The life we live is a lesson,

We are negros;

And negros are heros.

Long live black Race,

Our existence on Earth was fate,

No one can fathom everything about us,

It's never our doing; in God we trust.

Black Race; a land of milk and honey,

Many years ago, we began this journey,

Harsh weather still we age long,

African race is so strong.

We've black skin with good melanin,

That's why at old age we're still shining,

A land with bountiful natural resources,

Nature blessed us and made us its source,

Call us black Race,

We're African Race.
