Skin Color

What good does my skin color do?
You say not telling
Is false Advertisement.
Why must I
Tell the world
That I'm
black
white
blue
orange
What good does it do?
Does it change the
Meaning of my words
Oh because I'm white
My poetry is looked at
In a different light.
Oh because I'm black
I must be angry.
All these stereotypes,
Why put myself in that?
So What good does my skin color do?
