“Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am untouchable?
Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am black?
Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am gay?
Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am a Yazidi?
Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am a gypsy?
Why are you hating me, sadomasochistic?
Is it hating me?
Just because I am a Jew?
I could be a black person.
I may be an untouchable.
I may be a lesbian.
I may be a Jew.
I could be a Romani.
But I am human, my sadomasochistic.
Do you think?
I am an impure human being.
Just because of my identity?
How long can you murder my ontology?
How long can you murder my soul?
How long can you lynch me?
How long can you shoot me?
How long can you rape me?
How long can you persecute me?
How long can you murder my identity?
People say I died today.
But, but I died yesterday.
With your ancient ideology
I am a human.
Born millions of years ago.
Just like you
Just like your parents.
Just like your forefathers did
Just like your predecessors.
I am not an alien, my sadomasochistic.
I am very much human.
I can speak
I can walk
I can see
I can eat
I can run
I can sit
I can sleep.
I can work.
I can write.
I can read
I can voice
I can sense
Just like you
But, but
Why are you treating me sub-humanly?
Why are you hating on my background?
Why do you practice impurities and purity?
Who is pure and who is impure, my sadomasochistic?
"Pure is a nonviolent
Just like me.
Impure is violent.
Just like you, my sadomasochistic
Pure is democratic.
Just like me.
Impure is authoritarian.
Just like you, my sadomasochistic
You may think you killed me today.
But I died before I was born.
You killed my forefathers.
You killed my predecessors.
You celebrated sadomasochistic parties.
You have my blood and sweat in your hand
Burn your religious scriptures, my sadomasochistic
Burn your religious scriptures, my sadomasochistic
Hold my 1948 universal declaration of human rights
Just like me, my sadomasochistic
Hold my 1948 universal declaration of human rights
Just like me, my sadomasochistic”
