I am 100% alien,
until law says otherwise
I could die without my human rights
African American Slaves were called animals
Law had to finally say otherwise
The Civil Rights movement changed things
Black Lives Matter
They are human
•
If I die with human dignity
having full human rights
It will have to be given to me
I can not take what the government
will not give
to those of us born intersex
It is
an empty bucket
•
I can not own what is not mine
It is
an empty bucket
I will fight for my human rights
I will fight for our human rights
I will insist on it
I will declare it as mine even…..
But, I will not own it
until it is given to me
I can’t….
because it is an illusion to do so
an empty bucket
…and yet I won’t die
an alien because
I am human.
