Untitled

Broken in colonizer language,
Full in mine.

Emotional for the Westerners,
Passionate in mine.

A temporary intellectual event—
A lifestyle of mine.

Let me sum it up for you,
Blue eyes—an optical illusion, a lie.
Brown eyes—full of melanin,
An excess of color.

Yet blue claims the adjective,
The Roman glory stuffed with the screams
Of the slaves of all colors except the white.
