And I hate my olive skin

Folder: 
2013

 

I rebel against the Shawmen in me

A gift most origins treasure

I resent it

It always costs me

Lovers

Friends

Family

Broken bleached people who cannot see straight

How out of tune they have become

With themselves

With the world

But my heart beats like the steadiest drum

Dum dum

Dum dum

Dum dum

Calling my spirit to war

Touch and teach love

See and show observation

Know and kindle wonder

Yet I rebel against the Shawmen in me

Loud as the beating drum
