Inhabitants of villages in the darkness
of a dark continent
of black people
with dark hopes
in the city of lights for the first time
the mesmerizing effects
make a people feel guilty
for staining the bedazzling sight
with their inferior skin and identity
they wonder
if there’s space in the light
for the black
somewhere in the masses
stands a little black boy
blind to critics, racists,
politricks,
politics, and all the ‘tics
ticking obstacles into his path
to the top
in his heart
a big festival of dreams
and possibilities
that out of ashes
shall rise beauties and the great
