The Controversy of Complexion

Even the wild cannot escape
the controversy of complexion.

“Genetic mutation”—basis for
darkness marinated in feline fur.

Empirical reasoning—”melanism,”
yet beauty, demeaned by idealism.

Still, this knight—
of the darkest nights,
of majestic, melanated hue,

boasts its shifting shades—
blackish-brown, grey, and blue.

Thanking both platforms for the opportunity to express myself!
