Milk Taxi

MILK TAXIS. These the self acclaimed land Called milk gold. I have been standing By the signpost, Putting on my best coat. Some white stones fall And cause me cold. No milk taxi wants to pack my load, one says I am made of coal which would stain his cloths. I pick a leaf to Clean my skin, I see no coal. We have the same nose, There’s is long like hose. Under the sun there’s No fixed home, I will never reject Your toast. We all are made of The same bones. AKEWUSOLA HABIB.

This a wonderful way of explaining prejudice and small mindfulness. It is so sad to see that the color of ones skin is still so important to the statis of the fellow wearing it. Akewusola, what makes me laugh the most is that white people spend countless hours under a tanning light to darken their skin and yet condemn a person that comes by it naturally. If I lived in your country you could ride with me anytime. Great poem! Love Jane
