Permission to speak, I am the ally of the silenced and unheard. I am the noise you can't shake. Two sharp points like the accents I carry on my tongue. I slither and squirm as I observe what they have done to you. It's a tragedy what they think of you and how arrogantly they use you for self proclaimed prophecies. No! I am not that! I yell loudly, but only the echo replies. Incarceration, deportation, degradation, gentrification some of the words that burn as I spit them out. False ideologies are accepted as realities ignoring the facts. I am not illegal and you don't have the right to label or decide. I am not a criminal, never was. Don't obstruct my academic path, I will jump each and every obstacle one by one. I was born free, you labeled and shackled me with lies and hatred but I broke loose. With my forked tongue I battle your double sided knife. I am not content with the destructive pattern that has emerged with your avarice. I will not **** for you and I will not die in vain. My snake like tongue has no mercy and will not cease until I see dignity and peace obtained.
