We Do Not Want To Be... Poem by John Ugolo Umah

We Do Not Want To Be...



Can we be someone else?
but you in looks of!
We are just even same
with different smiles from miles
though we walk and work
we are one same flesh of sand

why do you count us out?
why do you castigate us with contempt?
Why slaughter and murder us?
Why seek to see us sorrowful instead?
When we are you?

Let us have a tete-a-tete
then you will see that
we are you, only you
in differences we discover
our strength and weaknessess
when we are you...
