Rapping has no Ethnicity be ye 
Greek, Jew, Afro, White, Hispanic, 
Chinese, Japanese, Other.

Yo man, go rap out the Soul.
Tell your story, cuss the enemy
In ways they can't understand.

North American, South American and European,
Asian, African and Australian.
What do the ethnicities of all these continents share in common?
They are all *****sapiens, they are all human.
If we focused on that similarity and not the difference,
perhaps world peace would then truly begin.
Hmm, I wonder if there's an ethnicity known as Antarctican....

someone asked me to define the peace of ethnicity
I am just a Mahogany child
of Babylon
sitting in my tree
my grandfather planted this tree

eating a strawberry
reminiscing
that is what peace looks like to me
I am ethnicity....

so then
my grandmother asks 
why I sit in my grandfather's tree
she asks me
she asks me about chaos
what that might look like to me

the lunchbox moment.
I can feel the looks of disgust as I make my way to the table,
I sit down,
others stand up,
walk away.

“ew” and “what is that?” fly across the table into my ears.
I try to explain,
but only assumptions are acceptable as they switch their tables,
away...

From a neighborly distance, the drama of a life's finality unfolded
A man named Mient. Once a well-known construction-scientist
When we became neighbors at Christmas he was a double amputee
Both legs taken by diabetes, then a man of his own ethnicity
Challenged him to a fight (Take it outside this diningroom," the chef said)
Both men were aging, wise...

Humanity is the ultimate ethnicity
I don't care were you are from
I cry for the world
Who is to guide us
Truly all in one direction

Kindnesses
Just a little kindness
can make a change
Just a little care
Can hear a soul
Just a little 
Is not much 
And...

Where are you really from?

One which I quite detest.


Often looking for simple answer,

This I cannot give, too awkward to tell the truth,

My eyes not quite blue or brown,

Turkish, Greek, Spanish…?

He’s from somewhere out of town.


I have an...

In Lagos' vibrant mosaic, life abounds,
Multicultural threads, in waters surrounded.
Lovely, funny, and resilient souls reside,
Great leaders emerge, yet hurdles abide.

Morning rush, nighttime chase, ceaseless pace,
Some seek rest, others rise, in endless space.
You wonder where the crowds converge and roam,
A city of mystery, where not all are known.

Superhuman, mysterious beings weave and spin,
In public transport, life's...
