(A South Azian American Identity)
 

I'm an Arab American like Jesus, is he also a camel jockey?
I'm Black Because the Skinheads call me the enemy
I'm a Colored Citizen so you still think I'm sub-human, what nonsense
I'm Dangerous you say, but what about the Department of Defense?
I was born Eclectic, un-like the counter-culture wana-be's
I'm not a Fundamentalist like the media propaganda makes me out to be
I'm Generous, and not consuming just to show my money
I'm Hungry for success and you're paranoid I'll steal your next meal
I'm not Indian but am native If you catch the drift of "A People's History"
I'm Joyfully expressive so make more laws to suppress me
I'm not the Ku Klux Klan, Can you be friendly? I can
I'm not Lazy or on Welfare like the corporate machine
I'm a Muslim American not in some Stealth Bomber but keeping the peace
I'm Naturally free, don't try to prove any racial superiority
I'm not an Outer-space alien like some monkey On the preachy TV
I lived in Pakistan for 10 years and still can't take the country out of me
I Question authority cause I won't be a brainwashed sheep
I'm Related to an Arab terrorist who's the prince of Diana's dreams
I Shall overcome the Mickey Mouse walls created around me
I'm Troubled by the puppets of government and media serving the elite
I Understand the erosion of Civil Rights by Pete Wilson's Cronies
I'll be Victorious over the cowardly lies against the meek
I Work for justice, the pursuit of happiness and your liberty
I X-Ray the stimuli to seek out the truth beneath the smoke screens
I call from the top of the Taj Mahal and hope You're listening
I'm a wild Zebra who won't fit into your pigeon-hole schemes
