An Indian’s human value

I wish I could practice my rights but then I wonder if they would make me pay for having a family or a friend.

I wish I could bleed but then I wonder if they will sell my left over body; a temple of my being, at the crematory.

I wish I could get back my security, but then I wonder if they would make me delete it for voicing it.

I wish I could get back my hard earned taxes but then I wonder if they would make me hunt for a medical facility.

I wish I could connect with my humanity, but then I wonder if they would make me suffer for having being born.

I wish I could trust again, but then I wonder if they would make me hunt for all my basic necessities.
