I DON’T BELONG TO YOUR RACE, BOY

I don’t belong to your race, boy

I don’t worship your idols and leaders and

Your silly anthems and slogans and

Don’t give a damn about your flags and other toys

I’m proud to be different

Call me a traitor or a newcomer

I know where I come from, boy

I know where I belong

I know where I go, boy

I’m the one who is free, boy, not you

I’m beautiful and unique

You are just an ugly number, boy

A meat for your greedy leaders

I’m proud to be who I am

You are the one who is confused

You are the frustrated one

You are the sick one, sick forever

Come down from the terrace, boy

Go home, boy, take care of your family

Find your peace, before trouble finds you

Stop acting stupid, boy, before it’s too late

I wrote this poem less than two weeks ago (on July 19), although I carry it in my thoughts for some time now. This poem is dedicated to all thugs and racist-nationalist idiots in my country and worldwide. I got particularly inspired by a song of local hooligans, but certainly think of all other shitheads around the world. I have quite a few more lyrics for and about them in my poetry book "Apocalypse" (published 2011), but even more in my new book of poetry and short stories, which is almost finished. I say almost because it's never finished unless it's printed. I wrote this poem in English, as most of my other works, but translated it in Macedonian language and posted it on my Monkeydonkeya Today blog.
