"discriminations" poems
I'm just a simple person, just like the rest
Well, not entirely simple, but nonetheless
It's like society and the media just say what they want
To create new forms of discriminations, that will forever haunt
As if the already existing ones weren't bad enough
They must make sure that you feel flawed,
and make your life tough
I'm just another person; I removed the word simple
People nowadays even get trashed for having a dimple
"HA, it's just a deformity on your face!"
Well, I hope you trip and fall on your own shoelace :)
I'm just another person, with a not-so-great vision
I need glasses, so that I don't squint at the television
It makes my life easier, but the media has made it tough
Their influences and the consequential societal mentality,
has made my childhood rough
Beauty is said to be in the eyes of the beholder
Yet friendship is considered beauty,
when it gives you a shoulder
To cry on, is what I meant
Not literally
I mean it could
Just didn't want to be misunderstood
Why are glasses objectified,
like in The Princess Diaries
Is it not considered dignified
to not want your eyes to get all fiery?
Trust me, I'm just another person;
who needs the help of glasses
Media's interpretation has ruined this too,
to profit their theatrical farces
This is not an appraisal piece
for the object that makes us see well
This is a shoutout to those,
who feel pressurized by this societal shell
To define beauty may be complex,
but it should not be controlled by someone's interest
You're beautiful the way you are,
to have you the world is truly blessed

Conquer the world with love
With no boundaries and discriminations
Strive to win hearts
And vanquish the enemies within-
Of fear, jealousy, hatred and evil
Conquer the bane which plagues within
Believe in love and peace
Once fear is conquered, you learn secret of life
Be a traveler who conquers beauty of the land

I grew up in a Muslim country
Where the culture is different;
Dress codes, cuisines, sceneries, and peaceful people,
Different from your local news' bombing news content.
I met different people at my old school, all of which are my friends;
Of different ethnicities, culture, and religion.
Despite our major differences, we treated each other as one;
We built a bond that is not made for oblivion.
I am lucky to grow up experiencing having a Muslim and a Christian for a friend,
I get invited to holidays like Christmas and Ramadan.
I get to see and feel the best of both worlds,
And respect for each religion is the key to living as one.
I wrote this to serve as an eye-opener
That the terrorists that you see on the news are not my Muslim brothers;
For when terror is claimed in Islam's name,
They disrespect the Islamic belief and teachings when they make that claim.
We need to live in a world where people thinks critically—
A world with no woman with a hijab is stared at disrespectfully;
A world where nobody uses Islam as a sign of terror;
A world with no discriminations, just peace and tranquility.
I hope we also learn cultural sensitivity,
For religion differences aren't something to joke about and be tagged with petty comedy.
Respect is what we need to have a peaceful community,
And if we really want to live in a world free from disquieting thoughts and emotions,
Let this all start with you and me.

They call me a fun sucker
For pointing out that was wrong
For speaking out
About the discriminations that rot humanity
Some asked," why am you like this?"
"Why can't you just lay back and stop being so serious?"
"Why can't you just let it be?"
Or in other words 'why can't i shut up?'
Just because
I'm tired of having to swallow down my words
To be told to swallow down so many times
As if that is what all I'm good at
They don't care if I was choking
Just because
I'm tired of people carelessly making jokes
About issues that shouldn't be made fun off
Shouldn't be made into the **** of a joke
Cause while you're laughing, They're screaming
Just because
People like to slap labels on other people
Cause it's easier to box them down
Into simple brand than as a complex being
Easier to determine which one superior, which one inferior
As if we are products, not human
They called me a rebel
For defying the norm
For not accepting that skins colors and what you have down your pants iare limits
For not conforming to their rules to the playground
Just because they say it's right, doesnt mean its true
They say, ignorance is bliss
But I don't think I can sleep, ignoring the screams just cause it didn't happen to me
Cause how can they blind them self
To the injustice of the world
The way they pile the bodies
And set them aflame
Just because
I will not hide my self, any longer
I will not be ashamed of who I am
And for that I will fight
For that I will not bow down to oppression
I will not bow down to any kind of oppression
You can stick your silly labels to my back
Kick me on the sides, Beats me up
You can try to bring me down
But I will promise you
I will drag you down to hell with me too
Cause this is my home also
None of you, big kids could bully us to go
Cause you think you could burn me down
As if I am a house made of sticks
Didnt you know that to light me up means that you going to burn too?
For I fight for what is right
Even if in this ocean of poison there's barely any lights

Look before you leap, because there is a chasm of fashionable awareness which is subject to the discriminations of the wise.
The cactus is a survivor in the desert of Arizona. But I will follow you if you dare to escape. Tadpoles will truly fertilise the obscurity of fallopian wells. Rise up and walk. Come on…break away from the chain-gang.

All 8,100,000,000 Citizens of Earth will govern Earth, not 200 politicians and dictators. There will no longer be nations with artificial borders, only Earth. There will be no more wars. There will no longer be any weapons of any kind from handguns to hydrogen bombs. There will be no money. All Citizens of Earth will equally share the resources of Earth. Aggrandizement will be supplanted by love. All needs of every human being will be met equally. Air and water will be cleansed. No longer will any Citizen of Earth become a source of profit, as there will no longer be profiteering. No longer will there be discriminations of any kind. There will no longer be jails and prisons, only Love Centers where those hurting from lack of love will be loved until unconscious hate will be transformed into love of self, then love of all. And Earth, now on the precipice of self-destruction, will flower into Planet Peace.

The freedom
still a dream for many
a term interpreted diversely
a privilege to few
have a dimension all new
but often devalued or undervalued
misused... abused...confused
The freedom
actually lies in setting others free
respect the earth air water and tree
serve thy nation year around with all the heart
not only on one day earmarked
not only in flashing the national flag
or painting on the face a latest swag
In my views,
the freedom is needed from discriminations
fears...atrocities on weaker ones
crime... poverty
ignorance.... irresponsibility
let's have a self discovery
why the freedom still a dream for many?

Your ideology is isolated.
An incomplete variation of my own, that lacks success and makes you depressed as a lifetime of ancestors decide if they should scorn you,
Or if they should mourn too.
Don't patronise me when all I see,
Is a person who's incompletely living a life that makes agony their focused expectation towards a make believe fantasy,
Such twisted reality.
Morality vs humanity.
This aspect alone is putting us all on edge, destroying tranquility at it's finest and making us blind to our own wrongs;
Making everyone else's more prolonged.
Serenity vs diversity.
Which one can impact an entire generation despite being hidden in our subconscious insanity?
Deeply hidden like the oceans secrecy.
I've seen people discriminate, despite knowing it only creates more hatred to stain the mindscape.
Yet like moths to a flame- or people to blame- they continue to recreate the same dishonesty towards those who care, those who rise, those who trust and those who lack policy.
We're all corrupted in a larger version of loyalty.
Where do they lay? I observe as they say that the beast we call love is merely an elaborate escape from lifes contradictions and ridiculous sway.
I wish we could all lose our discriminations some day.
I wish we could all grow and gain understanding towards people and all the sorrow we take in to leave alone.
I'm confused as to why I still wish when I know that it won't be able to work the way my heart wants it to be;
like leaves in the trees, we'll always stay green until a greater force overwhelms and makes us fall alone or in teams,
Changing our colours for the whole world to see.
I view things differently to you, you may disagree- are almost bound to- but I never needed approval anyway so I'm glad that you've read what I've had to say.
And all that I ask is for you to try understanding my claim; I'll do the same even if it's something that I feel needs change- cause this day and age things are more open to explain.
Be grateful for the way we've been made, that we have emotions to use and people to love; making us human despite all our flaws.
It's a beautiful law that makes up our core.

How can you MOVE if you've never known where you are,
How can you STAND if you know you'll never reach that star.
How can you SEE if your blinded by words that are MERE JOKES of a clown,
How can you STAY STRONG even if you're feeling down?
Words are too much for our hearts to HANDLE,
It can pierce our hearts,make it afloat, make it SPARKLE.
Sure it can leave you CRYING, DESPAIR, and DISMANTLED,
but isn't it better than being there, CONFUSED, being IDLE?
People don't wish being told bad things, being CRUMBLED,
They also don't want being TRAPPED, and being TANGLED.
But how will you know your WORTH and what you are to them, without DISCRIMINATIONS and such,
How will you ever know if ALSO for HIM/HER you are the PERFECT MATCH.

overt discriminations
polaroid dickensian remonstrations
elevated poo pooing of forecasted demonstrations
coalescing in a whitley bay bus stop
be sick on my shoes
angel of the overcast sky
I will fornicate with bureaucrats and syncophants
call me beligerent in an acid rain downpour
belicose victim of the jackbooted thuggery
tattooed forearms,
a conduit for satanic grunting
I hear volcanos erupting, sick sick
Debonair and not caring
uppercutting the earth until it enters a feotal position
razorblade wit and ******** upon a darras hall balcony
I would like to inhibit a physical space paramount and facile
I smell tomato ketchup and whipped flesh
unequal pleasures and sequinned ******
boot me into a grave state of mind
