My
neighbours are no more black.
They used to be black back when I was 12.
Some ten years or more later.
They
are now white.
No, they did not bleach.
It
is just that they are now foreigners.
On
the left of our house are the ones whose english I don't understand, so I believe
they must be from somewhere in Europe.
To
the right, I know not where they are from, but they always smell of spices.
Opposite
us are the Americans, I know that because they curse a lot.
At
the beginning of our street are those whom everyone in their continent look the
same.
I
asked my black neighbours, where are you?
They say they are in another country.
I
ask, why?
They said they are searching for greener pastures.
If
my black neighbours left to search for greener pastures, pray tell, what do my
white neighbours want here? :)
