Brown Skin

I am that “brown skin” child that you speak of, the change you fear that already is. 

I am that “brown skin” child whose origins you uncomfortably can’t pin point or put in a box.  

I am that “ brown skin” child whose roots you tried to stifle so I would lose my true reference points and my way home.

I am that “brown skin” child that represents what you intolerably know, but aren’t ready to accept.

I am that “brown skin” child that symbolizes Truth:

That colorless human race,

That borderless global citizen,

That fearless Spirit,

That priceless Love,

That senseless Being,

That limitless Divinity,

I am You as You are Me,

I AM.
