"WHAT'S MY NAME?"

Wed, 12/31/2014 - 12:52 -- DeWren

Who am I?Who could I be? Who could u possibly see when u see me?Bright skin green eyes,who do u see?Black,white somewhere in between,why cause my eyes r green?Whatchu mean?

That u can tell the color of my soul?Can u look at my heart and tell if I'm hot r cold?Can u tell my story if it hasn't been told,that's bold!

Can u tell the color of my art,by the words I speak in poetry, can u tell if I'm inslaved mentally r free?If u define me as black,what color is that?!Bad bank robber,murderer, child malester, oppressor, don't sound black to me.

What's my name?Call me soul one,for I am simply one soul, that unfold into one father, one son,one brother, one husband ,one man,...I'm not one title, so why should I have one name?

But if u call me by what color I am,"black"ull call me everything but a child of God,some,in that case u never wanted to know me anyway, now u call me fear!Is my name clear?!
