Appearance Vs Reality Poem by GALEED MAGAGULA

They appear to be white

They claim to be right

Covered in make up

They say the spot light is up

I for one have made

Myself to be unknown

The skin is cover in mad



They hide their reality

They hide their African

To bring the so called super dignity

Just to be African American

As our reality fade away

And our appearance leads the way



Why care about reality

When they have the appearance

That creates a better publicity

The only key is maintenance

Until our reality no longer matters

And the world of our own making exist

Where only our looks matters
