I look into your face as I describe
The project I put hours into
I paint a picture for you
Of the reaction from my classmates
When I pointed out that there are examples
In our own culture
Unique, originality, different
Our people bound to these words like religion.
One by one these words part us like the sea.
Drowning us in our own individuality.

BUT WHY DO IT WHEN YOU TEACH FROM YOUR BUTT
WE SIT STILL AND TAKE THE BULL
WHILE WE ARE TAUGHT BY A HYPOCRITICAL FOOL
WE ARE TOLD TO BE RESPECTFUL
