Bleeding Ghost

Truly it is not a human being
a creature on earth it is not
yet it claims to belong here
urging me to enlist it as citizen
but a bleeding ghost  it is 

Humanity stringed in my brain
deserving rights and privileges
under the armpit of my wrath
makes me a weird and naïve to
grant rights to a bleeding ghost
