If Poem by Zintle Groepe

If being black means suffering,
then let me not be
If being white means isolation,
then let me not be
I don't want to be black if it means rebellion
Let me not be white if it means superiority above others

I choose to be human for that has neither race nor colour
Please do not categorise me to judge me
My humanness separates me distinctively

If being black means poverty and being white, subjectivity
I beg to be human, in humanity my DNA cannot be defined
Does black and white choose their pigmentation?

Classification is the fall of a nation
A fallen nation is a weak consortium
Vulnerable to a cascade of viruses;
Racism Repeatedly Accelerates Condemnation Incorrectly Separating Mankind

Allow my humanness to be supreme
After all, I am human
