You people
Am people
We all people.
You Fante
am Asante
You Kusasi
am Mamprusi
You Ewe
am Dagomba
You Akan
we people of this Oman
You singer
am poet
We could do a duet,
something like Samini
and Maya Angelou
We people
so maybe a "colabo"
You tower
am dwarf
You cool
and me too.
So don't you slam
the door on me
Or eject my things
through the window
Hold me in your eyes
with desire
And don't let hate
kill your libido
Press your body's
easy weight on me
So I can feel your breath
on my breast
Squeeze me tight, don't let
your honey-hands go to rest
Lest we be separated
by people, who ain't people
cause we people.

Interesting,
I really like the idea and the beginning and the end. Well done to make the point. I felt some of that middle part were too forced, loose or otherwise corny.
But we need more messages like that in the world - Yes. We are people.
Even those aren't.
