Oh stranger, my friend
I'm here
to make you understand
Ego and deception
Denies you of your color
Everything starts to look
Black and white

I would like to translate this poem
Nick, this poem would be stronger if you focused on images instead of abstractions like ego, deception. Try reading some good black contemporary poets (Claudia Rankine, Terrance Hayes) . If you have time, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me how you like it. Yrs, JC
