Black and white,

my story isn't that simple,

colorful is my heritage,

a heritage of black and white,

a proud African-American father,

a strong African-American Grandmother,

who carries in her heart the marches for equality,

for the right of my existence,

A beautiful Caucasian mother,

adopted as a babe by a Jewish couple,

these two people created me,

out of love pure,

but they left me with an un-fillable hole,

who am I?

what is my culture?

what flag should I wave?

Black and white?

I found my own flag,

blue pink and purple,

finally my true colors show,

and i'm no longer just,

Black and white.
