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

    If we could all be so blind to the politics and tricks we could see ourselves worthy of all the opportunities out there. As usual nice job Benjamin!
