I Was Born Here
I applied my eyeliner, lipstick, foundation,
Eye-shadow, mascara, eyebrow pencil, & lip liner.
I smiled.
I made eye contact.
I answered their questions.
I was friendly.
I dressed nicely.
I bathed, shaved & deodarized.
I got rejected like I do everytime.
Fuck America.
There are no jobs here.
Not for white people.
