Who are you? Do you know?

By James B. Beard aka Noodin

You can say!

Poem By James B. Beard aka Noodin, January 2018

You can say you are a man or a woman.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are white, red, yellow or black.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are a republican or a democrat.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are a soldier or a nurse.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are a christian or a buddhist.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are blue collar or white collar.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are a farmer or a priest.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are pretty or ugly.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are rich or poor.
That’s not who you are.

You can say you are one with the creation.
That is who you are!!!
