Exoskeleton

Skin

The thickness of insults hurled at ballistic speeds

Skin

The thickness of buckshot blast from good ol' boys with bad intentions

Skin 

A melanin mix of Georgia black soil and North Carolina toil

In tobacco fields with the sun in your back pocket

Hereditary history made my skin tough

Teflon tough

Stainless steel exoskeleton

Triple black outer shell

Hardend from hatred 

Tempered in the furnace of burning crosses

Coloreds crucified for the original sin

You can't get in the skin I'm in

My crunchy coating is a jawbreaker dipped in chocolate

Skin 

the thickness of time

Skin...

Right on, Coalhouse! You tell them! This tough panther sheen ebony skin will ping-pong-back any racist-bigoted thing thrown upon it! Thanks for this beautiful exoskeleton's canvasing. ONE. PEACE AND LOVE.
