She was clothed with primary colors

and three stars and a sun

crowned on her head 

was brightly shining


Brown-skinned woman

showed no flaw but clean intention

the helpless help was forsaken

by the repeating generation


Yet the world

discriminated her blood

over an alleged tale

that man cannot change


She sacrificed the pain

even if it would

take her breath away

from the faraway land


She silenced with hope

that someday her

bandwagon would 

be recognized


Above all was a downfall

but she stood firm

and faced the world

with courage, she fought.
