hasmukh amathalal - Why Abuse Black?

It has nothing to do with black
When nothing is at stake
It is mere irritation
That is expressed in relation

It is not with black woman alone
But with any complexioned woman
You are right when you say common with black people
I agree entirely as an insult to black male or female

Yes take pride in having black complexion
Great many people were champion
For cause of freedom and liberty
We seek honor for them with identity

It is in human nature
To link ire or anger with color
Some abusive words may be added
Insult and others things may be traded

The black color is associated with magic
From inception that has remained as basic
I do not take it as affront to color
Our lord here is black and adored

We sometimes express displeasure
If get baby black in color
It has been common practice since centuries
To open out with vulgarities
