CRAVINGS OF A CULTURAL MISFIT

Hallowed Be Thy Name, Oh Lord

For Thou has made the world so wide

Granted me a distinction out of making me a human

To witness thy magnificence, given me a life

But I can't escape the gruesome truth

The tale of my people’s disrepair 

Once upon a time who held the realms

Now on the sloppy ways, without any pride

There’s Thee alone, to heal my wounds

There’s none but Thee, to listen to my plight

The dolour of being rendered  a cultural misfit

For not getting camouflaged in an intolerant world

I’ve lost my conceit, become a delusional culprit

When my conscience disallows me to distort my identity

The word of my mouth is subjected to incredulity

Gone is my charisma, deluded is my credibility

I can’t endure being an ignominy anymore

Being demonized for showing a skullcap and a beard

Gone are the days when I ruled the world

The story of my fall is inglorious and real
