ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself
as the slave who criticize one's king
my identity and ethnicity will always be a part of me
no matter what
rulers of the world use that as an excuse for their murders and killing sprees
justifying one's actions
and on september 12th-day after 9/11 happen
we became aware of our fright that hasn't been won
we became aware of our rage and hostility which will soon cease to be
once we realize that words are alot stronger with our deeds
stop running your mouths senselessly and come up with a solution
to problems we are facing
this is exactly what we need
and come september 12th, day after that great dismantle
we have to recover our health and rid the idiocy away
we never forgot exactly what was lost from us
commercials and news coverages, the media try to calm us down
saying that everything will get better
like so called "whatever", so the hell with that and
what attempts will that might bring
never wanted revenge or some sort of an entertainment
i want to heal, move and be vibrant
this is just an opinion, from a minority who goes
against our king
media constantly lie and changing sides
criticize us for not wanting to follow and be minions
but stay quiet when things go very awry
when things go wrong
like a song that doesn't flow the way an artist sings
what to do? don't even know what to do, even the 3rd world
slave will slap us in the face, and call us fools
understand that they don't need to amuse us to death
that sentence isn't recommended for the rest of us
stand out and shout out
the slaves, no longer slaves
criticizing our kings

my identity and culture
i am self define
by reading the writings on the walls
and the halls of the divine
time is the essence and a new information crime
has been added
the act of patriots in the nation if immense information
the children will have to face the fact that education will
continue to be a struggle
not that critical thinking became regulated
now i leave saying
our rights go balanced with our responsibilities
educating is awareness and our awareness we must conquer
our time is here and there, and it won't last
unless we make a stand, break out of that cycle,and learn to leave the past
and focus on the present
for us to say our purpose is to stand out loud, talk, and walk,
that for slaves to be free
we must protest and go against our king
