Am I just another antiquity
An artist who finds a natural home
Among the paupers whose graves are marked with serial numbers
Instead of headstones?

So many people always scream
that word ‘diversity,’
as if it’s the only idea

comes off as childish,
more and more I think they
have a harmful fetish.

To start with they...

Native, Liteskin, sun kissed
smiles
sit, talk, get to know me 
a while
for I am not my skin and 
even though the tan pigment

Why do they feel the need for all this fighting,
Over pigment precious postcodes and petty people lying,

To save our...
