What Did I Do?!?


"How may I help you today :) "

From your actions, facials, and tensed body

I can tell you are disgusted by me....

What did I do? Is it my color? 

It has to be because you dont know me?

 

What's my name?

Where am I from? 

What's my favortie color?

What do I like to do?

What are my dreams/aspirations?

 

Hmm like I thought

you couldn't answer not one

But if I call you racist, you are 

quick to jump to your own defense!!!

But what else do I call it?

 

However you sugar code it

you are judging me without 

knowing me---

I thought MLK had a dream that ended this?

Well I sure can't wait

for it to come true :(
