In the Airport

Mr. Officer
I know you are looking at me
with suspect
Dear Passengers
I know you are looking at me
with contempt
Mr. Officer
and Dear Passengers
I know I look suspicious
with an Arab face
a grown beard
and a briefcase
you can't stop staring
with accusing eyes

sorry guys,

but I have no justification
for why I'm having an Arab face
a grown beard
and a briefcase
