Panellipi?
Is it with two l's
and two beautiful brown eyes?
Penelope's not a real name
she's a fairy tale
with olive skin
subject to racism
the sweetest little voice
"You have to write this story for me "
but your beautiful Penelope
like a double rainbow
"You don't know" Penelope says
what it’s like to have brown skin
or this way that I talk.
You are a humanitarian
you must write this for me.
How do I spell
Panellipi ?
I'm a roofer
Penelope
Look at me
i do have brown skin
a poor person
painted by the sun.
Colored by labor
I do know
what it’s like
to be looked down on.
Even from a roof top
when I shine up
people still look down
to extinguish my eminent glow

I don't know maybe things look different from up here?
