What Its Like To Be Indifferent:

I am different I am unique I am special I am the first man on the earth History tried to re-write me out of the scripts Year after year archaeologist Discovers my bones My treasures My artifacts I am not a slave I was made in God's image I am a King My people once ruled the earth Who am I I am different I am just a man Like any other man My ancestors were enslaved Raped, abused, cursed Ridicule, spat on, accused Denied, robed and beaten Who am I I am the first I am not an ape Nor am I uncivilized I am not ignorant As many will make you believe My heart is not cold I am not a migrant Nor am I a fool When I walk I am stared at I am not scary I am just a man with color I am tall, lean, well built, intelligent Invented, well spoken and not ashamed I am indeed indifferent My eyes are brown My hair is wavy My voice echoes Through the caves I was born to be a leader My ancestors built a nation We are an intelligent, peaceful race I am the first Yet mankind choose to enslave me They brought me at a price To work their farms To build their empires To fight against my own They brain wash me Now I fight alone Who am I I am the first Created in Gods image I am important I am no longer Going to stand on my own.
