They say

‘go home’. My home is here,

in the land I was

born and bred,

they say,

‘go home’.

I am already home,

where do you expect

me to go instead?

If you seek to snatch

away my voice and beliefs,

then it is you who should leave

the land of the free.

Freedom of speech is a right

and not something

that can adhere to your

expectations and lifestyle,

you say

‘go home’.

I never left.
