THE BLACK IDENTITY 

Black is not just a colour 

But a symbol of honour 

Black does not only signify a race 

But an advantage to set my pace  

For I am black 

Does not make me stark

Black I am born 

Does not make me dull 

The song of victory 

Dancing on my lips 

I am given birth to 

Strong and healthy with pride and dignity 

I am born to win 

Because I stand for victory 

For black is not just a colour 

But a symbol of victory and honour
