Being Black is a Sin

He is black....

Shunned by people

Scorned by men,

Condemned by society

Suppressed by fiend,

In grief he asks, why man is mean,

'Cause being Black is a sin...

Being Black is a sin as great,

As the man who killed

Filled hearts with hate,

"His face brings thoughts

Of the horrors of life",

As claimed by the white man's wife...

Being black is a sin as great,

As the man who killed

Oh! Curse his fate,

He's born with a skin 

Which has a shade,

Indeed a sin very great...

He knows it well

His unpardonable sin,

Oh! Curse his fate,

He has a dark skin,

But when they denied,

His right to breathe,

'Cause his hue fills,

The world with seethe,

Realised at last,

The dumb, fool man,

What great a sin he had made.....
