Blue Eyed Mongolian


Blue eyes are recessive genes.
2000 years ago there were blue eyed Grecians 
That entered the Mongolian steppes.
They integrated and had brown- eyed children...

Except for the occasional throwback,
Which were few and became fewer.
Brown eyes are dominant,
So finally there were no blue eyed children...

Except for one girl
Whose family had never left the steppes.
Her blue eyes are not a concern to her family or tribe,
Who just think it a little odd.

Black pigment isn’t dominant or recessive,
But there is concern among brown and white- skinned people
That dark, very dark skinned people, are very different.
Even dangerously different.

Jews are thought by some to have dominant genes
That make them dangerous.
I wonder if those Mongolians with the blue- eyed girl
Would find the Jews or Blacks a little odd?
