Poems from Ome Asiligwa
I am not my tribe,
I am not my race,
I am not my religion,
I am me...
I am not defined by whats in my bank account...
Or wallet for that...
In my own world,
I am locked up and abused,
Taunted by my own thoughts
Oppressed by my desires.
I am a prisoner,
Caged up in this Solitary...
Am every man,
Am every dad,
Am every husband,
Am every brother,
Am that will that won't stop growing,
Am the reflection of your dreams,
The...
I wish heaven was on earth,
Then we would all be free,
Free from these shackles of subjugation,
Free from social approval and justification...
