Great poem and I love the music. Here in the UK we have 'labelling' too. Filling in a form recently Jim came to the section asking what ethnic group we belonged to, he just wrote 'none of your damn business.'
Just what has it got to do with anything anyway. Jackie <> < |

It is strange what we all label each other. In Europe someone said the word "Negro" --I said "Those are fighting words in the states" --I hate "white"--I'm not white-- I'm a friggin MUTT! :) Seriously, I read your poem and though "What have we done to each other as people by doing THIS?" Definition of this: the labels we give one another
Your depth is something for classic literature books. You wow me! I never get tired of coming over here to read you.
Thank You,

Good write, Carolyn. You're absolutely right. It's like if we don't fit into pigeonholes, we don't fit in at all. I was born in Argentina. Have been a naturalized citizen of this Country for over 45 years. I'm still ailionated by many -- I speak a little differetly than most. And I get the questions all the time: How can I be a Native of Argentina with an Italian surname? Like people didn't travel and settled anywhere else but here. The real confusion comes when I say that my mother's family was from Spain. And where do the blue eyes come from? And am I really white? And I hate it when they call me Spanish. Just like you say: Spanish come from Spain. There comes the point when we must say: I am.
Thanks for this.

*shivers* although we do not share the same name, or culture, you captured my soul with this emotional, beautiful write--i nearly stood up and shouted, "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
i am sorry, as wasichu, what my people have done to yours. i ask your forgiveness towards my people, my ancestors, and for me, being related to their cruelty towards your people, if only through blood
this is a keeper, and needs to be shouted out by all natives of turtle island. :)
