I have the right
not to be perpetually stressed.
I have the right
to be presumed innocent
until you see my truth.

Live in my shoes,
from Palestine to the USA:
I am not a low-class human,
just because I am
Palestinian, Syrian,
Lebanese or Kurd.
You're not above me
and I am not under,
just because you think
I am easily ignored,
or your pastors and leaders
pronounce you superior.

I have the right
not to be ever-anxious,
I have the right
to reject your double standards,
to push to the front of the queue,
to demand my so-called
human rights.
