I would like to say thank you

To the kings and queens of Egypt that built

Pyramids with knowledge beyond modern day scientist

To the man and woman in bondage

Future unknown now making the

Best of a land and culture so called

Civilized... Civilized

Because of you I am here

Struggling.

But because of you a little less than you

Thank you for having dominant genes

That makes me my caramel complexion

Even though it has been diluted

Though that was not your fault

You managed to shine through

In my heart,

In my eyes,

In my hair,

For this I thank you
