Thankyou for your thoughts, MC. At least a designation like “WASP” was specific to a certain group. BAME Is a catch-all meaning “anyone not white”, ironically racist.

Let the beauty glow
Friday,26th June 2020
Look from the distance
and take no chance
to touch and spoil the beauty
I represent the message from an almighty
always praise
and not chase
the people of beautiful nature
let them mushroom in garden here
what sort of color you want?
why my appeal can't?
persuade you to commit destruction
it is clear instruction for the Lord
the fragrance is within
it can be clearly seen
I smell the humanity
the powerful arm of an almighty
let the fragrance blow
let the river waters flow
let birds fly in high sky
but you observe and never try
just smell and remain spellbound
the eternal joy shall be found
you go round and make the beautiful environment
to remain happy and feel the proudest moment

You have lead an interesting life; and, are well read and well travelled.

Original item by John E Marks
It seems based in how and why
You use a way to identify
Those who appear here by and by
Not easy however hard you try.
Racism is the mantra nowadays
Interpreted in all sorts of ways
We are who we are perception says
However awkwardly that plays.
WASP was a term I remember too -
Another to describe a collective "who".
And there are others that's for sure,
In time no doubt there'll be more.

Really amusing DK, albeit with an authentic twinge of regret.It's strange but exactly the same thing happens to me, especially when taken unawares, I catch a glimpse of this strange person in a shop window. I think 'who on earth is that old bag'?, then suddenly the awful truth hits me!!!! One of my golden rules to cope with ageing is- never to look in mirrors unless indispensable- i.e. slapping on makeup to give one at least a healthy look!.

I used to feel the same. Then I opened up about it. People then told me that they really appreciate my company. Some called me the quiet force, the one who's supportive by listening. And I made friends by cooking, organising events, sporting together etc. Yes, sometimes I failed. Got disappointed a lot. But it's the only way to learn!

Kevin, Ghazala, Anmolpreet Kaur and Brian
Thank you all for spending time to read this poem and leaving such thought provoking comments.
Kevin, Ghazala and Anmolpreet Kaur appreciate the encouraging like.
I agree with recent pearls of wisdom given to me by regular bloggers Stephen Gospage and John Short on a different poem but their comments are relevant to this work, too.
Stephen Gospage; "The present government with its daft mixed messages doesn't care.."
John Short; "A few months back the British public were given a chance to vote for sanity and common decency but they decided to go with incompetence, lies and corruption".
Brian Maryon your tongue in cheek question is addressed somewhere in this reply.

Thankyou, moongirl. It does seem to me that we have come full circle form those apartheid notices for "Whites" and "Non-Whites". Did you check out the link to Jonathan Pie in my comment. Any credit is entirely his. "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" as they say.

John you have just won hearts writing this piece. There're no whites and blacks....rather there're only humans. Humanity in any shouldn't die an ugly death with the dagger of racism.
I agree with your piece, have it published.
