The Chocolate Africans

They say I am Black
But my colour is Chocolate
They say I am evil
But what colour is Satan's
They say I should pray to go to heaven
But who owns the heaven?

We call them White
But they are Colourless
We say they are not evil
But what Colour is Jesus'?
We say we should not pray for hell
But who owns the hell?
