What is America?
What is brown?
The richness of the earth
Tough like leather, smooth like wood.
brown is America
What is white?
The light of the sun
Silkiness of milk, paleness of a dove
white is America
What is black?
The silence of night
Stealth of a panther, slumber of a child
black is America
What is female?
a caretaker, a gentle spirit
she is America
What is male?
a leader, a laborer
he is America
What is America?
America is one
