My Skin Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

MY SKIN
Melvin Banggollay


I actually have a fair brown Filipino skin
not as black as our brothers in the African
or that of the fair skin of the indonesian
but more of a complexion of a taiwaness
, that of our neighbors the japanese
but definitely I love to eat many cheeze.


But my nose is like that of an american
with eyes like that of a handsome indian
with lips like that of a sweet mexican
With hair so black like like any Asian
but with smile so warm like a russian.
