no pity
why pity a fool
who does not know
what a beautiful woman
he’s got,
so treats her as if
she is not.
if you’re a man
fortunate enough
to find such a rare jewel
keep her well...
otherwise
let her decide…
don’t waste your time
to pity the fool…

Indeed! An ebony hued fool is his own pity; blind to the beauty of our sable Queens, but pleased to be obsessed by the most rejected ivory token.
