Anti-Ivory

Your skin is a beautiful thing,
Brown yet bold is it, Dark yet lovely,
It stands tall when people try to knock it down,
"You can't come here because you're brown",
Many have said this and will continue to say this,
But, next time, remember this, Brown Stands Firm,
When it's sick, it's not green,
When it's sad, it's not red,
When it's scared, it's not white,
And, when it's dead, it's not purple. Melanin is is a beautiful thing, your skin is a beautiful thing.
It's brown, it's beautiful, and it's here to stay.
