Why would you ask that
What is your intention My hurt feelings Me crying and running away But, That’s not going to happen I’ve had enough Of you always assuming Always thinking I can hurt That I can explode That I’m hiding something Beneath my scarf That I’m hiding something that Can kill But I’m not But why, Why is it that when someone Dressed like me are Terrorist But someone like you are Mental Why are we considered Killers But you are considered Helpless Explain to me But you can’t Because you know I’m Right And once in your life you’re Wrong But don’t be upset Because I’m not YOU I don't want to hurt others With my words But, I help I help educate I help others to understand I help the poor So here I am Educating you Into waking up And realizing Society That you’re the only one criticizing While others are uniting WAKE UP!

My name is Dave
Came to America and hopped on the wave At the time I couldn’t even shave Little did I know I was digging my own grave My heartfelt like a cave My momma told me to be brave A path I must pave A life I must save (Pause) Hear my story it’s my fable Crying out I’m unstable Thinking about the time I couldn’t sit at the white kids’ table Illegal it’s my label Cream cheese on my bagel I’m so poor I need cable Living this life.. not able Mahsud Hossain '22 (BHSEC Queens) We live our lives in hiding
But why? I’m not so sure We live our lives in fear Of someone walking through the door To take us far away Far away from home They’d leave us poor and stranded In a country not our own Anonymous '23 (BHSEC Queens) |
