Its skin deep
Deep as the depths of my skin
Deep as the sand casing the ocean's floor
My brown, brown skin
Brown as the branches that stands strong,
That deep connection, an attachment to the leaves
Just as an apple having its seeds
Just as a slow song having its tunes
Its skin deep
I love to touch him
I love to hold him
Not only in physical touch
But something deeper than that
Not only emotionally
But something deeper than that
I've spent centuries wondering
I've spent decades being inquisitive
Let's take advantage of the time we have left
For life is still in existence
For there is still time unsullied on the clock
Let's look at what we had at a broader view
Let's synthesize and look at the obscure picture
Let's integrate and assimilate
Yet be intensely conscious
