My Right

my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
except you don't care 
but be sure my right
I will never ever gave up
for you
your intimidation
your torture
your disrespect
may be your own opinion
is obvious that is your way
yet my right can't be taken away
by those pains you inflict on my body
at the end my right is 
my right

my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
is obvious we live in a selfish world
where care is lesser than before 
each sunset 
on broad day light 
atrocities are committed 
like is normal 
our usual life are so sow 
in a tinkle of an eye 
who is to blame 
when our right are no more 
a reality 
when our destines are sold 
for peanut on daily bases
so when I fight don't judge
me in a hurry
cos if you can see
the realities in our third world 
you will understand 
why I must fight for 
my right

my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
but who cares in a wild world 
a world were babies are left 
to grow in hunger and starvation
a world were our mothers bleeds in poverty
a world were our resources are 
only for the corrupt cabals
a world were crimes are a way 
of life like a normal basic job
a world were the innocent are 
killed to keep criminals in power 
what a world 
I wonder how could my right 
be respected in this kind of world 
I don't need to be told to stand for my 
right cos is obvious 
in this part of the world
my right must be so hard 
yet my right is
my right

my right
respect my right
if you want to be my friend
cos this fire burning in 
our dear homes communities
countries 
needs a water of peace 
is sad that people will 
always be who they are 
but what is good is good 
our demands are simple
yet our realities are hard 
confusion are always common
on our common sense
cos the illusion of truth 
has stolen our right
devalued our dignity
no wonder our last hope 
are always prayers 
even when dying slowly
in lies and manipulation
is hard to know the truth 
cos too many truths in lies
has taken away our truth
denying us our right
teaching us to accept lesser 
than our value
when you disagree
you become a victim
who always must fight 
for his right 
so in this quest I 
am not exceptional
so as every human
cos my  right must always be 
my right
