I Wish You Were Colored Poem by Yehualashet Teshome
I Wish You Were Colored
My Alice white as snow
Blue eyes
I am black as coal
We live in conformity
Unity in diversity
When our eyes met
The universe rejoiced
Manifesting blue-black energy
When we kissed in the park
The whole place lighted up
When we made love
The neighbourhood was on fire
They banned us
From the white neighbourhood
Jim Crow laws
One drop of blood
Oh Alice
I wish you were colored
Like me
Like the birds in the skies
The fish in the ocean
The animals in the bush
Oh Alice I wish you were colored Like me Like the birds in the skies The fish in the ocean The animals in the bush.. what a great wish and hope for the humanity......... love all without prejudices.. thanku dear poet for this poem. tony
