Words on a Page


Can you tell my race from these words on a page?

These words on a page are not racialy made.

They're skillfully written, carefully thought out.

Strategically put in place as my mind roams about.

Can you tell my race from these words on a page?

These words on a page do not include slang.

Slang that is expected from the race I am made.

But my race does not determine the words that I say.

I say what I learn, I say what know.

That is quite well depicted from the words that I show.

Can you tell my race from these words on a page?

Through these word on a page, is my diction the right gauge?
