Angelitos Negros

Pintor nacido en mi tierra con el pincel
extranjero Pintor que sigues el rumbo De tantos
pintores viejos. Aunque la virgen sea blanca
Píntame angelitos negros
Que también se van al cielo Todos los negritos
buenos. Pintor que pintas con amor Por
qué Desprecias su color Si sabes que en el
cielo también los quiere Dios? Pintor de
santos de alcobas si tienes alma en el cuerpo
Por qué Al pintar en tus cuadros te
olvidaste De los negros? Siempre pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro.
