"I Think Therefore I Am"
8/25/16
I, Too
I, too, am American
I am the least respected brother,
People wouldn't treat me the same as they do with other white people,
But I continue to smile,
eat healthy,
and continue my life,
Because tomorrow,
I'll be treated the same
because nobody would dare
treat or respect me less than any other white American,
and later,
they'll see our similarities
and regret treating me differently
because I, too, am American.

and later,
they'll see our similarities
and regret treating me differently
because I, too, am American.
