Rooted from Ebony Beginnings
Watermelons are the chameleons of the soil
They deceive you’re eyes with its scarlet flesh. But are diluted in means of purification
The dilution has no color, no taste, and no identity
Still, the flesh is streaked with ebony seeds of hatred
The melon is unsuccessful in hiding its tiny seeds of darkness
Regardless of its efforts it is told it has no nutritional value towards society
No matter how much you eat you will never be satisfied or fulfilled.
There is no amount of water in all the land and sea that could dilute its blackness
In this bland bland world
Do not underestimate this melon!
Grown on the most infertile land but bears the most fruit
Seedling! Become who you want to become and grow sweet and kind hearted
Embrace you’re ebony beginnings in all of its likeness
Do not continue to water down your sweetness into the likeness of others
Let down your green armor and reveal the man beneath the mask
You’re mechanism of protection shall one day reape betrayal from the red white and blue soil in which it was rooted
