I owe you nothing 

I pay tribute to no image or symbol 

that stands for what I cannot support 

Shunning the needs of common man 

And all of those it was meant to help 

A dollar to a prison 

A dime to a man in need 

A priority misunderstood, 

As the country goes it's way. 



I owe nothing to this which 

I never chose to belong 

I refuse to claim the name. 

Of a label stolen with no regard. 



Not by birth 



Confusion sets in to those who close off 

opportunity. Self proclaimed inheritors, 

Deny these rights to others 

I have no place with you, so don't extend your hand 

You embrace me only to watch me, not to include me.
