we are brown

November 12, 2013

We are brown
We tend to spend a lot
But only when its on discount

We are brown
We make people cry
But only with smile on their face

We are brown
we may look different
but we are the same as all of you

we are brown
our parents don’t let us out
but when we try
we get to know how a belt feels

we are brown
we are assumed to be terrorists
when we are the ones that bring people together.

We are brown
We say we’ll be at lunch at 2:30
But we get there at 7:00
