i was born and raised
in this country
this country
is my home
so why
must i be
houseless
in my own home
i was raised
to respect
the police
yet the police
and the justice system
have the freedom
to disrespect
me
i was born and raised
to believe
in Democracy
the freedom to speak
about the basic human needs
Food Shelter
a little security
yet
i/'/m held in chains
Denied
the basic human rights
