The Tribe Vibe

Swarthy and pallor, is the image of us in your minds written

You might call us underdeveloped, but you are disguised in the dust of discrimination

Your prejudices and orthodox notions

Have grappled our throats and choked us from within

We practice our own set of beliefs, and in our hearts resides humanity

But you with your remarks promote the rise of atrocity

Trying to demean my existence, giving hopes to inequality

Everytime you call us wild, it uplifts the insecurities

Your watchful antagonism deepens the absurdities

Our collective consciousness safeguards our resources, for Nature is our God

We are no hooligans and that is assured

We are always portrayed as a disgrace to the human race

But we are simple humans, persisting to earn dignity since uncountable days

The government is a mere shadow to me

Throttling my habitat in the name of development and technology

Why not embrace us as who we are and simply let us be

All we demand is no interference in our way of living

But with no social acceptance, in the ocean of discrimination we are swimming

Why call us uncouth if we prefer fire dance over hip hop

Our justice has certainly taken a drop

Why call us poor if our culture revolves around agriculture

Tell us why we are proclaimed low with no gesture

We face inequality which rises from your delusion

We are namely tribes, but at the end of the day, each one is a human.
