Integration Madness 1.0

A poem.

@gettyimagespro

Trapped, yearning for liberation’s embrace,
caught in a never-ending chase.

My existence shaped by oppressive ties,
imprisoned within a circle’s disguise.

Hold a glass, retreat to shadows’ shade,
running with bleeding, bound feet,
quickly replaced by the dominant wheel.

Identity withering —
taking its toll.

Stay or depart —
the choice is unclear
a job and its security, veiled insincere.

Trapped in a capitalist charade,
bound to stability, its joke despairs.

They welcome diversity,
should I remain?

Illusions suggest, inclusion’s domain,
lost in my hands, integration’s plea.

Equality pushed aside —
dismissed with disdain.

A binary world, where divisions remain.

But I yearn for a future, diverse and fair
while breaking the chains of a world we must repair.
