My Name Is Jacqueline.

Black, Brown and White…
these are simply colours

I am a Living Soul
and my skin colour is black

I am not merchandise
to be labelled and put in a carton

I am a Human
and a beautiful woman

Red blood flows in my veins
just the same as yours

My name is Jacqueline
and I belong to Human Race

So tell me,
who are you?

Wonderful, evocative poetry by a talented writer. Left me hungry for more. Jacqueline can write! Linda Bethea

Out of the silent breath

If you enjoy my works and would like to do so, you can fuel my creativity with a slice of cake or coffee😉

      1. Yours would be a far more interesting colour I would think – sort of a purplish blue 🙂

  8. That was a very strong post! Well done!! You are a beautiful soul indeed.
    I am a beautiful Indian, a soul that feels, aches and laughs just like any other… A soul that knows no religion nor race, caste nor Creed! A Human!

  10. I am a daughter, mother, grandmother, student, teacher, friend…all of which I received as a gift from GOD, just like the rest of us. WE are people…and what comes from inside is far more important that what decorates the outside. 🙂

  13. I am a now point in a continuation that stretches eons, in both directions, along a space time continuum. Current nomenclature and description are meaningless as they are mutable and impermanent while that which drives “me” is eternal.

  15. I am not a feminist, but I love this:

    “I am not merchandise
    to be labelled and put in a carton

    I am a Human
    and a beautiful woman”

    You have so much talent and grace Jacqueline.

  16. Beautiful poem… really beautiful poem. It reminded me once, this person say to me your Indian and English – aren’t you confused. I was like – !! I am Bella – what is there to be confused about, I am coloured by my surrounds, I am a fusion of cultures, a fusion of old and new, – I am bella and I won’t change – I rather like me … I will of course improve.

    Thanks for this.
