You Ask Me

You ask me why!
And who!
Do you want to know
The weft and warp of me?
The inside, outside of me?
I tell you now
Of the generations that have spawned me,
Of the centuries that have formed me,
And of the life that has moulded me.

I'm me and you
And him and her,
The whole, the lame,
The innocent,
And those you blame
For all your weals and woes.

I'm black,brown, white, yellow and red,
The rainbow centre of the universe,
The centre and circumference band,
The centre of a grain of sand.
