"Will You Remember"

Do you remember then

when you called me barbarian of the Civilized world

to come to applaud my towns and towers centuries later?

Do you remember then

when you called me the slanted eye beast from the East

and then came to herald my vast empire?

Do you remember then

when you could not help but spread measles and water to my villages

and now reward me with cigarettes?

Do you remember then

when out of spite you led me to move from India westward to Spain 

only to document my lack of rights?

Do you remember then

when you burnt me as a liar and conspirator

to build me monuments?

Do you remember then

when you thought it justified to erect settlements on my land

only to protest our oppression?

Do you remember then

when I became a quarter of you because of my skin 

and now you are the one to come forward to correct others on the N word?

When you come to dine as a guest to my house

will you remember then

when I was the tanned desert villain of your news stories and movies?

"The Terrorist"

Our only representation

in pop culture

ridicule.

Might as well ridicule with.

Ahahaha,

what

a fucking

laugh fest.
