I am Human

I am told we are the same,
We speak one language,
Share the same religion;
But why do I look different?

Why he is he tall yet I am short?
Why is he light yet I am dark?
Why is he slim yet I am stout?
What happened?

How did he become more handsome than I?
Why are his women more beautiful than mine?
Why are his children more well fed than mine?
Why does he hold the best pieces yet I lack?
Why does he hold the power yet I do not?
What happened?

Is democracy not the rule of the majority?
It was my country before he came;
It was my land before they came;
My women were fine before they came;
I used to be the lord over mine before they came;
Now they lord over us.

I will wait,
my time will come,
I will rise,
Because i Covet,
I desire,
I want,
I will have,
Because we are not the same,
and the land is mine,
and I am Human.
