Where do you come from?
Where do i come from
Do you ask where i am from?
No, i mean where do you come from?
HmmShire!
HmmShire?
His face flushes; pauses as he tried to conjure another angle
So, where are your parents from?
HmmShire!!
Really?
Yes, really!?
But that cannot be right because...
Because?
Because you are 'black' but not ...
But not what!
But not white?
Ugh what a plight!
Be gone with your devious tack
No, i am not 'black'
Black is the colour of a knight
Neither good nor bad least your lost in sight
Yet, you are right neither be i white
Leadeth me to tell you this in words alright!!!
Keep your beady eyes off my proud skin
If you are not colour blind; then, i say your sight is too thin
I am not 'black' but Afro – British
Dark brounze is the colour of my skin
You see my eyes, lips, ears, and the fine Yorůbá nose of mine
These are my appreciated gifts from the Almighty Divine
Have not my ancestors told you once befor in acclaim:
Take back your questions of corruptible interest ; rectify your devious aims
Yet, this young man before is saying nothing but the same
'The same' – The notion that commends the words 'I can'
Be I not just like you, the son to a woman and to that of a man?
Where have i come from!?
What is your point?
You keep asking yourself questions as i have one for you too
Who do you think I am?
