Color Sings
Vickie Wheatley
Silence, Say No More
NeShaune Mahin Lasley
Where I’m from
Shorty can’t do right
Not enough this,
Not enough that
Too black, too white
And to throw it in your face
Blackballed, black out
Black-ish? A disgrace
But Color,
Color is all I see
And Color,
Color with a capital ‘C’
Cause Color is a pronoun
A Person, a Place and a Thing
Color is a pronoun
Color breathes
It shelters – it sings
How interes-ting
You choose to describe me
As Colored
