Merecumbé
Quisiera ser negro
para que la otra persona
se cambie de acera,
quisiera ser negro
para que de las fotos
me dejen afuera,
quisiera ser negro
para infundir respeto
porque el diablo
se viste con similar aspecto.
Quisiera ser negro
porque sienten lástima,
sienten misericordia,
y si eso los hace humanos
no me importa ser el sacrificado.
