Brown, the color of beauty

by Tiera   May 19, 2006


Oh, world...can't you see?
Brown is surely the color of beauty
Although some like to think of us as the color of dirt
I like to think of us as the color of the earth
Brown is surely the color of beauty
Oh, what beauty brown woman hold
Despite what they are told
Brown women open your eyes, realize itsnot just your hips and your thighs,
and its not just your round behind
but its your brown eyes, the love and intelligence that shines through them
and your brown skin
It must be a sin!
For us to have been
bathed in the color of sweet chocolate,
Brown the color of beauty
Don't get me started on dark skinned men!
Where do I even begin?
The streghth you hold within
or the places you have been
the things you have overcome
your FULL lips sweeter than honeycomb
don't believe them when they tell you your dumb
because your wise
just like your father in heaven who made you
and your brown skin
Your beautiful brown skin
