Writing Stories about different languages and cultures
I’m trying to think about what to write, kinda like a vulture
Who is about to swoop down on its prey, but I kneel down and I pray
going out of my mind, all for this wordplay and I think about the prejudice that existed so clearly in 1996, where different races were not so evenly mixed
and I was constantly called Paki, and I used to get pissed
then I learned that Paki meant clean, and my mentality shift
and the whole nature of the insult was entirely ripped and I would tell them boys to get a grip, call me clean all you want, see if I give a shit
And the thing you call Paki dots doesnt even make sense
Most Pakistani’s dont even have it since its not worn by Muslims
So I sat and listened with patience and tried to block out the hatin’
What kind of country do we live in? What kind of country are we creating?
OK, time to start working on my story.
I hate how you frame me and blame me
For being traditional and saying that I’m not a reformist
I’m trying hard to understand and respect every humans views
I love everyone, be they, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Athiest, or Jew
So think before you spew about what is right or wrong and all along
Think globally what would increase the peace
Dont take different views and dump them into a hierarchal box
Trying to explain somethign to you is like trying to break into fort knox
And I know your clever like a fox, but what has brought all this anamosity
Now I find out its all because internal insecurities
You know you can live with me but fear both our families
And I know we’re going against the grain
But I’ll be your shelter in the rain
But you gotta stop with this useless bickering, it’s causing too much pain
Everytime I see you, I can’t wait for the next time
Staying away from you is like me not being able to rhyme
And I know we are fighting work and school all the time
If your patient and believe and have faith
God will put everything in its proper place
Open up and realize, for some, religion and spirituality can embrace
So here I am rhyming again
I’m so tired, I’m so drained
I’m done work but I’m emotionally strained
I wish I wasn’t so sensitive anymore
I wish that I could just open up that door
No, no that just isn’t true
What I believe is between me and God, not between me and you
Who am I, who is you? Do you understand me? Do I understand you
Do I accept you? Do you accept me?
I grow a field of rice with a single grain
I write like I have nothing to lose, but then again I have nothing to gain
So I sit here, bop my head and think about how I’ve been trained
Then I think what is wrong with my own brain
I think I’m loosing it, I am NO longer sane
The sink is unplugged, all the waters drained
And i’ll be walking around in the future with a high tech cane
I write in rhymes like dr. Seus
I talk about war conflict, I talk about a truce
I talk about my pain, but all you ask for is proof
and I sit here and take it, like I dont have a roof
over my head, and I should be worrying about my future instead
So rather then just sitting here, typing
I shouldn’t be writing, I’m not good enough
In fact I should be practicing my vocal skills
And bring it to a level that everyone might find ill
But I wonder if I even have the will?
Am I a well of talent, or am I an empty hole with no soul
Waiting for someone to just console while I get old
My head is scattered with white hair
I’m only 24 years old, it shouldn’t be there
White hair at this age, it just not fair
And, I cant bare to see my head go bare
I swear I wouldn’t care if I didn’t have a layer of white on my head
Is it a sign of character or a sign from the dead
Aww, 1 male and the rest of the results were girls. Wow, this thing is really inaccurate!!
Wow, I was doing some cleaning and I found an old birthday card from my 19th Birthday.
