This is just a poem that is food for thought. Feel free to interpret it anyway you want.

Have you ever tried?



We share the same table


We share the same floor


We even go to the same store


But you are not welcomed here anymore



Your skin is too white


You can not be here because you are black


Go back to your country because real Americans do not look like that!



Are you illegal?


Because I see your last name


Are you a terrorist?


Because our religion is not the same



Oh I see, you are just a good Anglo Saxon, but one of your relatives may shoot up my school



You are all thugs


You speak English really well


Oh you grew up in my neighborhood


But you look different so I could never tell!



You look too aggressive


Your ancestors will never be proud


I'm a real American because I'm white, Christian and proud



I think I have a solution


We have a problem


Lets solve it


Wake up and try this today


And let's resolve it

Have You Ever Tried? A Poem



Have you tried not having dark brown skin?


Change your skull type



Have you ever tried not having a foreign accent?


Why can't you lose it overnight?



Have you ever tried not celebrating your culture?


And pretend you don't care?



Have you ever tried not being asian?


I mean just widen your eyes


You already sound American



Have you ever tried not being latina?


By drawing some American parents?



Have you ever tried not being white?


And deleting your European heritage?



Have you ever tried not being gay?


You don't belong

Have You Ever Tried? A Poem




Have you tried not being a woman?


Then you will be strong.


Have you tried not being a man?


By cutting off your own dick?



Have you ever tried to be ill


And not get sick of it?
