when I enter office buildings security

staff sometimes ask me if I am lost

*** I am Not Free**

I AM – a homeless American,

forgotten I wonder the streets,

seeing judgment in

the eyes of those I meet

*** I am Not Free**

I AM – a gay American,

afraid to hold my partners’

hand in public

*** I am Not Free**

I AM – a Muslim American,

treated with suspicion

when I buy anything

*** I am Not Free**

by the Border Patrol often

*** I am Not Free**

confined by cultural
