Jealousy---a natural reaction as some might say,

Yet in my heart I know that it’s just unjust today,

I’m Chinese kid, so what?

Have I done anything wrong?

Yet here and there,

I can hear,

Racism,

It’s not just me, myself, and I,

It’s about the race I am,

So what if my race is becoming more powerful?

That doesn’t mean we want world domination,

No, not at all!

Yet people gather together to point out little things of matter,

Things in the past,

Mistakes that have been learnt,

So why does it matter now?

If past errors trouble the world of today, let’s have a look shall we?

Holocaust meaning sacrifice by fire,

Slavery of Africans,

Dictators here and there,

What about the now?

Iraq, what do people gain?

Other than maintaining dignity set for causing damage too much to halt?

North Korea, rights have no meaning,

Why not try to free civilians would lay trapped in their own country?

Guantanamo bay detention for what crime?

A young man only imprisoned for his “terrorist” appearance,

Why do those people protest past matters?

When things plague the world,

The world of today?

Those who once protested against China,

Yet here and now they apologize,

This disappoints me,

And how the world works today,

How can Tibetans protest for past mistakes of others?

When they themselves have a record,

Set in stone of time forever?

Hypocrites and nothing more,

For they’ve been ruled by a dictator before,

Long time in the past you see,

So why can’t they just let it be?

Why does China get such scolding?

When more important things are yet to be done?

Would one cry out for milk spilled decades ago?

Or rather the milk spilt now?

With that being said, wouldn’t past wrongs matter,

Yet current issues should be the ones,

To everyone’s attention?

After all, I’m just a kid,

But I know for myself,

That transferring from Canadian to American,

There will eye of hatred,

For my appearance,

For my intelligence,

For my race,

And for my existence,

Though all things listed are to consider,

I’ll meet racists head-on,

I for one know certainly,

That my wrongs haven’t killed anyone,

Or caused an almost extinction of a race,

Or lead to racists outlooks on faces,

Or anything else of that matter,

I’m Chinese,

I’m a boy---a kid,

I don’t want domination, superiority,

But merely to exist with,

Rights as a kid,

Rights as a Christian,

Rights as a person,

And rights as a human being.
