For Being Black Poem by Roland Nkwah Cho

For being Black, I am feared!
But by some I am revered.
Because I am Black explorers "Treat" me.
Since I have darker skin employers cheat me.
"He's not white! ", some say.
"His is the lower pay! "
Just Because I am Black！

For being Black, I get lots of 'favours'!
But for some I should get no leisures.
For the 'fair', the best I should get,
For the 'bare', only the afters should I get.
That 'I can! ' to many I swear!
That I can't so many fear！
Just because I am Black！
