CONFUSING CONFUSION



#Am I Indian, am I Asian??
Am I Mizo? All these labels confuse me so!
When I say I’m Indian
They say, ”That can’t be, you don’t look like one!”
When I say I’m Mizo
They search their maps high and low…
Then I say I’m Asian
They say, ”Japanese, Chinese, Korean?”
Now you tell me
Exactly what is it you see??


#India – Unity in Diversity,
Doesn't that sound so pretty?
Or is the concept rather silly?
With contempt, with mockery –
They say Bihari, they say Chinky.
Help me analyse, let me understand!!!
Where, o where should I stand?


#I’m a Mizo. I come from Mizoram,
That’s always so easy to say.
I’m an Indian, I’m from India…
Now why doesn't that sound as dear??
