See Me As I Am

You, you see me as a white, black or a red man. A muslim, christen or
jew. This is how I am seen by you.

But I am more, I am a father, husband, son and lover. Bother and friend, in short just a man, if you would only see me as I am.

Why do you persist in putting a label on me? Segregating me and
making me fit your narrow point of view?

I am a man, be I black or white. Red, yellow or brown. Be me a christen, muslim or jew. Hindu or buddist. Do not label me but simply
see me as I am, A Man.

This is great. I have one you should read called color. Because I deal wit this stuff all the time. Why should this be an issue. We are all the same. We all bleed red. Great work

You have wisdom with age, be you red yellow balck or white... A man of spirit...I like this one it is full of truth's...

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
