Intent of Your Analogies

How can you accuse me of being racist,
When I am the one profiled...
In my own backyard.
Microscoped and studied!

How can you do this?
And insist on using comparisons.
With statistics to prove and show...
My abilities and progress,
You publicly announce is below yours!
And decidedly quite slow.

How can you say I live substandardly?
When you are there to ensure,
My advancements made are limited...
As you wish them by your actions to be.

And the affects of your oppression,
Only reflects your insecurities.
Tinged with your obsession
Anyone who has lived to witness this,
Knows how preposterous your allegations.
And the intent of your analogies.
Glorified with a suppression you possess.

And it is no coincidence,
'Anal' is the root that summarizes your excuses.
