culture clash complete
my people are not my people
the things they do are not things i do
we don't see eye-to-eye
from head-to-toe
nor cradle-to-grave
struggle rises from us
it is our every breath
from every angle
on a thousand plains
a million battles
so where do i belong
if i am not with the people
i am from where i emerged
it is this place where i remain
unmoored
unbecoming and
unbelonging
and it is from here that i begin
to find others who don't adhere
and as we coagulate
we reform
with plans
to revolutionize.
