Is this some kinda freak show?
First, this ain’t no verse but here are some words I thought about. Is it a curse or a blessing, or a blessing at its worst, and at times I feel like I am lost in the crowd. Is it adversity at its diversity? Cuz to me, it seems like democracy has just voted me out. Cuz if our Preamble teaches equality and fraternity then why are we behaving like a hypocrite and promoting hypocrisy in abound, but here’s the doubt, the rebound aspirations that we found. Trust me, it’s almost been a week now, our rage is at its peak now, I guess we should speak now. Brothers and sisters all I am tryna say is we should try to reach out and fill in the bridge now. Cuz it’s never too late, better late than never cuz if we capitulate then counteract, then how can we ever count the facts in order to face the facts of these racial attacks that we face on daily basis, yo I am talking basics. Or maybe your rules aren’t efficient enough or are ineffective. So let me take you back to when in Grade 6, I learnt everything about India and its culture through our textbooks leaving out North-east; now tell me that ain’t racist. Justice, liberty and fraternity leads to greatness—The greatness that we’ve been waiting for, then why is it that in our own country we feel so insecure, in our own country. I was stabbed thrice in the process of graduating, that was funny though, cuz after that we became bros, I thought it was just an incident and that it wouldn’t grow. But it shows that
I was wrong. Don’t mind me saying this but is this some kinda freak show? It’s like we are Rey Mysterio and you the Big Show. Discriminating us because of our food habits, looks and judging us depending on our facial features or on the basis of our population ratio. Let these words of mine stream live on the radio. Cuz I want you to listen, why are you killing; isn’t it the same air that we are breathing? I can hear the heart beating, Mom back home weeping. And I guess you are daydreaming cuz you call yourself educated and learned men. And you don’t even know where Arunachal Pradesh is situated on the map, tell me is your knowledge of geography that bad? While on the other hand I am glad, I bet I know a lot about India and its culture, cuz its my country. But you take us for granted, if I am wrong then confront me. Mahatma Gandhi himself said, “See no evil, hear no evil and do no evil”, then why are you so eager to hurt our sentiments, it’s like we are living down below while you are piling up the sediments. Just for your knowledge, let me tell you who we really are, there are eight states: Mizoram, Tripura, Sikkim, Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. And together we are the North-east. So before I end this, I want to say that we want justice for Richard Loitam, Danna Sangma, Reingamphi Awungshi and Nido Tania’s death. May their soul rest in peace.
