I have no class!

He measured and sized me with an eye on him, thus giving me less than quarter a value…. careless to my presence and without much thought he went to ask; but to make known such statements you must have a class! In short, you must identify a class which you can call your own and here is my recommended list of choices; race, gender, ethnicity, background, religion, and color. I was lost in my own thoughts when I spoke in a voice that can hardly be heard by the ears of the hearing man, yet loud enough to quake the blue ridges that blindfold the eyes of the seeing man; but.... I am all of those. Suddenly, I saw his eyes searching my soul pronouncing inwardly, are you for real?! Evidently by every measure and count I was, I nodded with unblinking eyes. I walked out of the blizzard of his office to the warmness of the sun, although tumbling at first; I walked my path along the dark grayish stone walls from a dark age burdened with an agonizing reality and a pounding heart. And I learned since then, there is an ugly face to the spoken words in the luxury of those spacious offices and beneath the teeth smile. That is why whenever I encounter the text “mission statement" and "diversity”, I assert with an eye on me; “I have no class!….because I’m simply all of those.”
