Black & White Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Black & White

I'm not black, I'm not white
And do not; "Call me brown"

I am me
I am who want be

But something makes me smile
Makes me believe "That is live"

He is black with white blood
Shaking hands with Chinese

Bravo
I'm in joy
Wall broke

Wall broke
Wall broke
Wall broke

Now ignore who I am "Just a man"
Equal everywhere with all men
(Genderless, colorless, background)

I recall:
Sad, angered
I observed Black is Black
White is White
Water fountains separate, so apart

I felt pain, was dagger, poisoned
I my heart
No value, no ear, no-one heard:
"Listen...but"
In my mind, in my heart and even
In my eye
