"When culture is code for division,
You gotta be uncultured to find assimilation.
When hagiographies are passed on as heritage,
To be heretic is the first course of action.
Instead of being chained to the dead,
Let us be each other's roots.
Be a garland that celebrates life,
Instead of a hangman's noose."
