Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Exposure
I never wear white
Shows too many stains
I have no time to wash
And no desire to deal with bleach
I would rather frolic about
Get dirty
Unburdened by consequence
No I never wear white
Too much to bear
Displaying my sins for all to see
Judging eyes passing over my body
Knowing what only I should know
Seeing what only I should see
No I'd rather wear bright colors
That absorb the byproducts
Of my daily rituals
That elude the effects of
My avid habitual
Self-servitude
Call me rude
But white
Just aint for me
And it definitely aint for
Your longing eyes
To see
