Dolors from a Desi
Location
If you appreciate my culture,
As much as you claim,
You should know
Your disgusting
Urban Outfitter’s shirt
Desecrates
My God’s name.
A sacred image
Against
Your filthy skin
A jewel
Between
Your ignorant eyes
A traditional henna pattern
Up and down
Your pale ass thighs
Appropriating my symbols
My religion
My culture
For your
New age yoga shit
For your
Mismatched Coachella outfit
For your
“I just like it!”
If you appreciate my culture,
You should know
It will never be yours
To claim.
