ORIGINAL BLACK GIRL
-by Neo Blaqness
Glistening in the midst
of her chocolate silhouette
is a smile that brightens
the beauty of her soul
a brownness that mother earth
made to behold
Lips that bubble
at the joy of a kiss
Hips that move
to the rhythm of bliss
Hair so coarse
like blackened coal
stout and sturdy
from generations of old
Some say for Beyonce
they would give the whole world
but she can’t hold a candle
to my original black girl
