Black or White?

Uh? (I hear)
Not Michael jackson's song
Mind you he still can't decide
i wonder how he feels around his siblings who are obviously black
Doesn't that add to his confusion
The cycle continues
I don't get the guy
Ur face reminds of ur father so grow a beard or something or better still see a psychiatrist
Abi? of course u are going to have ur father's face doh!
I bet he is wishing he has the face of his father now
Look at him, he looks like he is going to melt
No wonder he covers his face
I think even a small gust of wind will remove that face like a mask
Some people say it was a skin condition that turned him white (HA HA HA)
Then get a spray on tan and the guy is loaded
he can even spray bronze or gold
the one that Mariah Carey spray on.
These people self

Oh gosh, I have lost my train of thoughts

I am a sista
supposed to love the brothas
And I do who does not love Will Smith (Lord forgive me for coveting another woman's man)
or Taye Diggs or some Denzel Washington (even with his flabs now, everyone has them)
just to name a few
However I am partial to the lighter ones like Shemar Moore (he can make me sin anyday)
My preference seem to however be getting light and lighter now
The other brothers
God help me
what will my father say


So this dude at my workplace
He is a "brother"
He was friendly and pleasant
but most of all and strangely enough, he gets a sista
So he starts flirting me, caresssing my hand everytime he gets an opportunity
He will look at me longingly and pass comments about my hair
People start talking
I hav a rep to protect, I am a sista to the core (I think so)
I just told him flatly I don't do white (I still dont believe I said that to him)
I think this guy got even more excited by this

As the flirts continued

He happens to have been interested in a business idea I had then
So we begun hanging out outside of work, meeting up for lunch and drinks.
The strangest thing is we will meet at the bus stop or I will go ahead and he will pick me up.
I still hav a "rep to protect" and our employers and colleagues frown on interprofessional relationship because of possible libels.
At work we will meet in a side room so people could not hear our discussion
I will bring my jollof rice, beans and bobo will start eating
This bobo is blacker than I am
He even started saying I am biased I guess to plead his own case and calling me coconut

Bobo started getting attractive everyday ni sha
I caught myself one day starring at him and imagining what it would be like to kiss him
wo? what is happening?
I had to tell someone
So I confided in my friend
she confirmed my suspicion
Crap, what do I do now?

I must be the worst person on the planet at expressing my true feelings. I pushed him away by doing silly things to annoy him just to knock some sense into myself and him. Black and white in my world is difficult.
So I stopped calling him and picking his calls and tried to maintain civility as a professional.
Fortunately we both moved to different work areas but we are backing together again
he calls me a strong sista
I cannot tell whether he feels the same way
Tell me 'does black and white work in ur world?????????
