THE APPEAL OF THE FOREIGN IN FEMALES

“Where are you from upon the earth?
What country gave you blood and birth?”
Exotic skin tones and accents
Make me ask this, with innocence
Of all intention to seduce,
Whatever answer you produce.
Some may call this a chat-up line,
Question my honour of design.

Yes, some accents and colours attract,
Open me up to be exact,
But I ask with gentle awe,
Without racism at my core.
My Christ had as ancestress
A dutiful Moabitess
Whose skin may have had other tone
To that which her Boaz did own.
