I was born in Bombay, a city of millions,
when I was three months old, we left for Middlesex
as an infant my choice to stay in India
simply disregarded by my stupid parents
but for forty-nine years I have yet to return
other than ignorant people saying I should
really go and visit my homeland of Goa
nobody understands I feel like an exile
in the United States I am a citizen
not really a worthwhile benefit when you want
Basically not to live in a country founded
on oppression and hate disguised as liberty
making a mockery of true democratic
beliefs when civil rights becomes a cause to fight
against or for notions of equality speak
yet another volume of historical lies
ask me if the values placed in the Bill of Rights
create a dystopic sense of reality
in the perverse nature to defend the nation
to preserve the systems of government that help
yet another dimwit to gun down schoolchildren
of course I will decline to comment on this fact
freedom of speech be damned it means nothing if we
make everyone suffer equally I declare
inside our glorious nation outsiders are just that
left to clean up after others the status quo
left alone belittled as children by children
in fact the attitudes of the parents lacking
only humility seek to ensure their own
notions of privilege to earn prosperity
secret handshakes backroom deals deny my value
