I am Brown (2020)

Plantations 
Caramelized my skin 
The sugar 
Sweetened my roots 
I am brown 

Chutney 
Danced on my tongue 
The songs 
Spice up my soul 
I am brown 

Tassa 
Cries of the dhal 
Vibrations 
Shiver through the jhal 
I am brown 

Pray 
Devotion onto a land 
Where bhajans sing 
No caste at hand 
I am brown 

Fruits 
Sweet to the core 
Taste 
New beginnings at the seashore
