Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Social Condition
I am a victim of my ethnicity
My birth certificate
implies I am a black American
the social norm of society separates
black from African American in that
I can not have children because the
children of a slave is not to be
'politically correct' labeled by any other
name African American there are no enclaves
to being separated because I am different
I share a hue of skin that can not produce
unethical to what is expected of black people a
child I must adopt and I must marry according to
a creed I know nothing about
