ASK NOT MY COUNTRY OR STATE

Ask not my country Or state.   Ask not my trade Or job.   Ask not my tongue Or region.   Ask not the colour Of my blood.   Ask not what i  like Or dislike.   Ask not what i dream Or pen.   Ask not if i have An orchard or a flower garden.   All are irrelevant!   Ask what i eat And what i not.   Ask what i wear And what i don’t.   Ask if i a visitor To holy lands.   And if not satisfied Ask the last important one, “What’s your name?”
