Brown

Poem I wrote for english

Just because I’m brown
Doesn’t mean I do drugs
Doesn’t mean I wanna be a rapper
And it doesn’t mean I’m uneducated
Just because I’m brown
Doesn’t mean that I’m from the projects
Doesn’t mean I jumped the border
Doesn’t mean I’m in a gang
Just because I’m brown
Doesn’t mean I don’t like having philosophical conversations
Doesn’t mean I eat nothing but fried chicken and grape kool-aid
Doesn’t mean I'm not smart
Just because I’m brown
Aren’t we all the same
Don’t we all live on Earth
Aren’t we all human
I am brown
