many many faces
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
i come from every place
where dwells the human race
afrique, asia
australia
europe, n.a.
terrain
i am the human race
i have a human face
of ebony
and ivory
and chocolate
and rouge
i have enchanting eyes
of rainbow-coloured skies
sparkling dark brown
blue velvet crown
deep hazelnut
and green
my lips smack full with pride
whereon life's sweet words glide
thick lips with songs
thin lips like thongs
wide lips with peace
deluge
come to my human breast
where all life's races nest
asymmetric
keen athletic
east-west, slender
wean mien
my universal hips
life-over-death eclipse
accommodate
one virtuous mate
one curved dance for
refuge
one drop of human blood
becomes a gruesome flood
if shed in vain
where peace should reign
all blood bleeds deep
red stain
