Integration 101: I don’t exist,
that’s my law of integration.
Had I not told you my name,
it’d be impossible for you
to know my culture and nation.
Any ape can boast about its culture,
I’ll die roaring for all but my own.
I am local of a borderblind world,
something illegible to the cavegrown.
Borders are glorified apartheid,
Passports are glorified bus pass.
No peace can ever come to light,
from the doings of apartheid heart.
Latinos regard me as latino,
Americans reckon I’m american,
Muslims consider me a muslim,
that’s how I’ve lived as a human.
