Black Privilege
What a privilege it is to be black.
How luxurious it is for my soul to reside in this black body.
Our skin illuminates as the sun kisses us
and it begins to glow when it reflects the moonlight.
Our hair reaches for the skies above as our feet are firmly planted on the ground
like the deepest of roots of seasoned trees.
Our skin textures vary from fine silk to smooth velvet
and our hue comes in endless shades of pearls, coppers and onyx.
How blessed we are.
How gifted we are.
How beautiful we are.
