Brown Is Crown Poem by Mfonobong Ituen

Treading the sands of time
Have been ridiculed
Have been talked out of my pride
Have been likened to some ugly specie
So much of an "ape"
Little did I know I was raped jus when the evil tape plays

Can i die for what I can't lie?
A mere mortal with a portal
The blood of my fathers running
One of a negros speaking

Now I know for I have grown
Brown is crown 👑
Through this colour, have been up the court of intimacy
Surrounding by princes of fairness
On the quest to survey the brown skin
Testing how great a colour
Caressing affectionately
Till the next posterity, this is my integrity 👌
