Where?

April 3rd, 2016

Awake Goy

Where can I exist?
Where can I live?
Where can I go?
Where can I be?

Without being
Unwelcomed,
Denied,
Threatened,
Harassed,
Orientalized,
Or colonized.

Without feeling
Violated,
Exiled,
Imprisoned,
Restricted,
Deprived,
And dehumanized

What are my options?
Or rather,
Where are my options?

Why my existence they so fear
they wish I leave and disappear?
Why my identity so much matters
all my freedoms and rights shatter?

I now believe.
Nowhere there was ever a place for me
Where I could shine
And injustice was not mine.

I searched for some space
Where I could rest my spine.
Breathe, be free and fine.
But, I found no home
That could be mine.
Alas, at no place
I was allowed to dine,
Sing or sigh
Live or whine.
Everywhere,
I am always
Unapproved,
Undocumented,
And declined.

Justice? Peace? Where can I find?
Where can I live? Where can I reside?
Unthreatened,
In harmony,
With the mankind.
Unanswered,
I was left,
Wondering.
Where can I at least resign?

Then I finally realized,
Wherever I go,
I will always be underlined,
Defined,
Denied,
Occupied,
And
Exiled.
