It's been years

It's been years of being treated like nothing

It's been years of oppression

It's been 100s of years

It's 2020 and things are still the same

We are treated as nothing

We are treated as objects

We are still mocked for the way we live

We are mocked for the way we talk

We are mocked for the way we dress

We are mocked for the way we look

Yet we are the most hated in the world

We are always looked down upon

We are always looked at like we are ignorant

We are always looked at like we are incapable of being successful

We are always looked at like murders

When will the hatred end?

When will we finally be treated equally?

When will we be treated like humans?

We've never come off as hateful

We're always welcoming

Why can't you be welcoming to us?

We embrace ourselves and where we come from

Why can't you do the same?

Why must you take credit for the ideas you steal from us?

Why do you tell us to forget our past?
