Who am I?
I am “black”
Ebony Desire, Nubian Queen, Mother Earth
Strong as freshly brewed coffee, sweet as a baby’s lullaby
Broad nose, kinky hair, big lips
Africa is my hope
love
soul
I am as I am
Who are you?
You are “white”
Alabaster Desire, Virgin Mary, Father Time
Pure as freshly fallen snow, hard as quartz
Pointed nose, straight hair, small lips
Europe is your peace
love
soul
You are as you are
Who are we?
We are American
The citizens, the culture, the dream
Different as night and day, yet united as a bride and groom
Bessie, bop, and Bach
America is our life
liberty
happiness
We are as we are
