NUBIAN.

 I am proud I am Nubian,

A race no shackles or time could fade.

Black! Black! As the ace of spades,

I turned my head  and you spat in my face.

It’s your claim to being superior and to slight my race.                           

Sambo! Sambo! Go home you are not of this race.                            

Strange, cause of human I was born.

Yet each day I must live with your scorn.

To be treated as one is a bullet in the back of a…

             Nigger! Nigger! I hear you yell.

 A fear of me you have because of my blackened skin.

You tremble at my presence, even though there is no  shackles.

I am not free, not of your ignorance, not of your hate.

Pride, grown from your bondage Makes me proud,

   Makes me black,

   Makes me Nubian.
