Poem : Reality

~Ismael Subba~Ismael Subba

Stop!
And think once….

What if I am black,
Do I belong to Africa??

Though I’m just like you,
Speaking the same language,
Eating the same things,
Sharing the feelings
As of yours..

Why do you
Judge me different?

What if I have a chinky face?
Do you get Authority
To call me Chinese??

Why do you Question
My Nationality?

What If I am using foreign language to communicate,
Does that really make me a
Foreigner?

Does language have barriers?

If my colours tells you
My nationality
If the language
Spoken by me
Telld you my native place..

Then you’re BLIND
with a hallow head,
You can’t think
You just start
Hunting a Bird
In the Ocean…..
