Analysis of Though my skin is black
Though my skin is black
My intentions are Green
Let me put them into practice
Colors of joys will be all around seen.
Let me uproot the weeds of hatred ,
Let me plant the flowers of love.
Peace will be enjoyed everywhere
Everyone will symbolise it like a dove
In the hearts of people let me put out the fire of greed
All will take their fair share
None will take more than they need
Let me tie the people with the bonds of brother hood,
Let me teach them humanity
All will be just and will act as they should.
