Dirty

February 11, 2018
 
Dirty 
Suvam Nayak
From the perspective of an Indian-American
 
Brown is dirty
It is the closest to imperfection
Life is wasted with brown imperfection
A dirty blemish to the perfect picture of the human race
To believe that the extraordinary feelings and minds were wasted on the brown man is a blasphemy
The same color of excrement, these imperfections are worth less than garbage 
To be acquainted with brown is sinful and cannot be cleansed
To love brown is worse than sin 
 
Associate all people with color to be dirty
These abominations deserve the respect of pets and that should be considered generous
To see the brown man fall in love is an ambiguity that needs to be addressed with hatred of the strongest proportion
Like having a domestic animal romantically entangled with its owner
That is what the brown man is
We own the brown man and its emotions
There are no feelings behind the face of grotesque savagery
So do not dare treat it like anything human
The brown man is not human
It is the closest thing to odour  
So treat is as such excrement 
 
If you want to find real humor, find a brown man in love with the possibility of equality
The dreams and the aspirations that come straight from his sad heart and his small brain
Find the brown man who cries his heart out
The man who hates the world and his life because of unwarranted belief in a heavenly world that is fair and just
The man who gets laughed at by his peers for speaking up 
The man who contemplates his life’s worth every single day
The man that does not understand why his feelings and appearance are repulsive
The man who dreams of greater things every night to wake up to see rejection the next day
The man who cannot contemplate why he is dirty yet knows that everyone else contends that he is dirty
The man who reaches for a goal, that he believes with his heart to be, within reach but does not realize that his goal cannot be achieved past the confines of a hopeless dream
The man who does not deserve humanity because he is dirty
 
Brown is dirty
