Not by Birth

<br>I owe you nothing <br>I pay tribute to no image or symbol <br>that stands for what I cannot support <br>Shunning the needs of common man <br>And all of those it was meant to help <br>A dollar to a prison <br>A dime to a man in need <br>A priority misunderstood, <br>As the country goes it`s way. <br><br>I owe nothing to this which <br>I never chose to belong <br>I refuse to claim the name. <br>Of a label stolen with no regard. <br><br>Not by birth <br><br>Confusion sets in to those who close off <br>opportunity. Self proclaimed inheritors, <br>Deny these rights to others <br>I have no place with you, so don`t extend your hand <br>You embrace me only to watch me, not to include me.
