human

a poem by [brandon]

Am I a monster because my skin is a few maybe 12 shades darker than yours? Because my eyes are brown instead of blue or green? … Or is it because I have calluses on my feet and cuts on my hands and whip lashes on my back … I could go on all day. They were all from your forced labor. Look inside, I feel the same things you do. I am human just like you.
