Guest Poems "This Cat" ( Pumpkin)
there's this cat
with gold fur
striped with white
brown eyes
blacked with sight
yellow tinted
tanned by light
i look deep into his eyes
and wonder to myself
how does he see me?
does he see me like a BLACK MAN
as a protester for suppression
does he see me like a WHITE MAN
as a sign of hatred and derogatory exspression
does he see me like a ASIAN MAN
as a rapist of his women, in a wartime session
does he see me like a SPANISH MAN
as a forman for cheap labor, lying to him with a blessin
does he see me like a MIDDLE EASTERN MAN
as a white devil, who needs death to be taught a lesson
does he see me like a MAN
as a womanizer, love is just a word to me, i'm just messin
does he see me like a WOMAN
as a uncaring individual, who needs repetitive correction
Or does he see ME, for i truly am
as a honest person
who loves all people
whether your names pam
Tran, Shanika, bob, jammal or dan
i treat all with respect
that's who i am
women or men
all equal in my eyes
everyone together in one gang, one clan
one world, one land
one name, one brand
one heart, one hand
there's this cat
who see's me for what i am
he see's me just as a man
