Golden Child
Wonder what's seen when all eyez are on me
Do they see me for me; a pure bred pedigree
There's only one me, making me a one of one
No other's like me up under the golden Sun
The title pun is intended; admittedly it's true
I'm kissed by the Sun so I've got a darker hue
Does that make you view me any differently?
Is your view skewed and only can see racially?
Taught to see everything in black & white?
If that's true it's time for you to see the light
Cause the colors are bright and diversified
Whoever told you otherwise told you a lie
I, I, I want the knife pleassssssse
So we can finally live harmoniously
Maybe that'll be in an alternate reality
For now it seems to be just a fantasy

Thank you. I laughed when I even thought about putting it in this poem. Glad to hear that it brought some laughter to your day and that the message was conveyed.

And on point
Someone has to fight for that which makes life better for us all
Nice ink, Sir Damon

Thanks bro. All that I truly have to contribute to the fight is my mind and my pen. If only that's all it took.

While the heart can be pierced by a sword, it can only be truly touched by a pen. Great writing, Damon. I hope you are enjoying NaPoWriMo this year. :)

Thanks. I'm enjoying it. Just haven't been able to read many of them due to me working and in school. Don't have a lot of downtime.

That third stanza carries so much truth. The world is made of different colors, shapes and sizes. Damon, your ability to flow and rhyme is amazing.
