Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Knowing the Difference
Leave the sister and brother
with the yellow/gold
red/orange streak in their hair
yeah, leave them alone.
Traditions die slowly.
Culural patterns are never quite erased.
ostriches
cheetahs
lions
leopards
honkies
We have always imitated animals.
Written by Carolyn Marie Rodgers (1940-2010)
