Rebellista

I've been called a rebellista.
Because I protest,
The affects of...
Subliminally applied,
Genocide.

And I am fated to be labelled.
As my activities are criticized.

My eyes are too widely opened.
My empathy connects to humanity.
I witness injustices and quick to speak
I am affected emotionally,
With the grief I see on urban streets.

I've been called a rebellista.
Because I protest,
The affects of...
Subliminally applied,
Genocide.

And I am fated to be labelled.
As my activities are critized.

I am not considered a terrorist.
Or thought of to threaten as a spy.

I am just ignored and ostracized!
With a noneffective influence.
A leper considered to be one distanced.

'If you don't like it here...
Go back to from where you came.'
Says the minister on the streets...
During the performance of his outreach.'
