Before I Forget

<div> <p> My ancestors went to Guyana only English country in South America by boats from different continents. <br/> My mother Indian father Negro ate the forbidden fruit. <br/> I was rejected from conception amidst the hate and confusion. <br/> <br/> Old enough to walk I became my older brothers Datson and David's keeper. <br/> They were mute deaf and later blind; I was their ears mouth and later eyes <br/> Allegedly curse on my mother from her father for marring a Black man. <br/> Nothing stopped me from loving caring being proud of them. </p> <p> </p> <p> Bigotry hatred ignorance engulfed my childhood in a providently Indian village. <br/> We were dehumanized like animals freaks and slaves. <br/> Even the good Madras people of Whim couldn't stop the horror of being 'Mixed'. </p> <p> </p> <p> In the house of silence practicing my vocabulary/hearing on animals. Am an animal lover till today. </p> <p> </p> <p> Was told am Indian speak pray in Hindi and Sanskrit 'keep away from Blacks; they eat Indian children with curly hair'. </p> <p> </p> <p> After ten this barefooted Indian found her other 'half'. <br/> Allowed to enter their homes gravitated and become a runaway. </p> <p> </p> <p> Giant ants deepwater dunce cap ostracized Mommy died Cinderella abuse stopped <br/> when my dearest Uncle Bertram set me free on an elephant - five-dollar bill. </p> <p> </p> <p> Like barnacle I clamped to the first man in freedom town. He gave me three beautiful children when nothing left to clamp onto he forced me to fly without wings. </p> <p> </p> <p> Flew to America cold homeless penniless. A Stranger gave me some silver. I slept under friend's table a kind family made me and mine American Citizens. <br/> No job was too many. Goodwill perfect for low-maintenance like us. <br/> Education and focus #1 priority </p> <p> </p> <p> I thank/forgive those haters who looked down at me they gave me the will to rise. </p> <p> </p> <p> I have my David and for not eating my young God blessed me with six grandchildren. </p></div>
