Mislabeled Identities

I can tell you about the blood that runs in my veins


Which country it came from and who brought it over

I can tell you why my eyes are hazel and my nose is broken

Which person it came from and who first noticed it

I can tell you why my voice sings only English

Which person adapted and who lost their mother tongue

I can tell you why my skin is white and my hair is blonde

Which race it came from and whose recessive gene it is

I can tell you why I’m adventurous and act like a leader

Which dominant trait it followed and who made it so

What I can’t tell you is how it all combines

Or who was responsible for my mislabeled identities
