Blacks Poem by Dare Onadele

You say I'm black that you're dark.
Oh life of a negroid!
You say I was battered but you were whipped.
Oh life of slavery!
You say I'm an outcast while you're just segregated.
Oh life of apartheid!
You say I'm from where is other than the South.
Oh life of Africans!
I am your brother but we're distanced.
Oh life of xenophile!
I ought to rub your back while you rub mine.
Oh life that's reciprocal!
We are very now afar.
Oh tears of Africa!
