My Eyes Are Not Blue

My eyes are not blue,

they are hazel, which genetically

is a form of brown.


I am of the hot-blooded

pre-mutation permutations,

the ancient nations,

who speak from the heart.


The Injun in me won't lie to you,

because lying is a form of disrespect.


The Jew in me will not stop studying,

because studying is a form of ascent.


The Pygmy in me, of ancient birth,

will not let you destroy the earth.


We, the brown-eyed part,

will speak to you from the heart.
