Being White Being White, I don’t know brown or black or red or yellow or pink or purple. I only know white. My DNA says I am white. My society says I am white. My friends say I can never know Because I am white. But, White is not all that I am. I bleed red. I bruise blue and purple. I scare yellow. I turn green and then black. So No, I don’t know brown or black or red or yellow But I know human.

Muslim Me Hateful eyes stare, Careless, seeing only “Enemy”; I am American. the land of the Free, unless the home of the Brave, unless Where all Men are created Equal, unless I am Muslim Me.

Fat Gasping Sitting Trying to breathe, Pushing Rolling Trying to stand, Holding Pulling Trying to walk, Falling Breaking Trying to sit, Eating Trying to escape, Trying to change, Succeeding Failing Trying to lose, Moving Walking Trying to win, Eating Trying to change.
