Nothing But a Mutt
I am the "What are you?"
the "Where are you from?"
I am white, Spanish, African,
Indian
I have a white family
I have black and Spanish too
In the place I live, white is
an honor
while blacks are only
"hoodrats"
My family is both superior and
inferior
All my homies are getting shot
White people are the shooters
You see, I have no true
identity
My category is undefined
But it doesn't really matter
at all
All non-whites are grouped
together
Neither side will claim me
I'm too tainted by the other
Tainted by my preference
Or lack of preference
There's nothing worse than an
unknown girl
Other than an unknown girl in
love with a girl
I am seventeen years of
defiance
of unnamed mutt
of another colored girl in
jail
I am alone and isolated
Addict going nowhere, another
statistic
I am white, Spanish, African,
Indian
How about you?
