I’m not “English”

I’m not “English”, I’m  like you, unique.
Categories patriotic  I critique.
Like all the folk who dwell  upon this isle.
I’ve Celtic bones  yet Danish  is my smile.
An Indian,a  Jew  some call “astute”
Norman,Viking, mixed up in physique.
I’m not ” English”

I don’t want to injure  more all those
Who’re mocked until they lose their  sweet repose
A mixture of genetics   aids design
We’re just one species in this world malign.
We’re  here because two loving  persons  chose
To   share their minds and bodies all unclothed.
I’m not “English.”

Shall I compare  all others with my rule?
Shall I measure and deploy more tools?
God himself made folk from clay and air
Gave  to us this world  so strange yet  fair
I  do not wish to be an English fool
But seek to understand and to be schooled
I’m not “English”
