You listened to me at 3am as I talked to the stars. I can’t tell you the same secrets I tell them.

Knowing

Wide-awake and I am here.

Smiling back at me is my reflection.

And a jolly good day, I trust myself to have.

[thecreativityflowsinmyveins]

Just let me get drunk.

So drunk I forget your name.

So drunk I don't give two shits.

So drunk I don't remember.

Blackout drunk.

Just let me drink.

Mesut Ozil - A Comment on Ethnicity & Discrimination.

It is a pity when you are incredulously discriminated due to your ethnicity. In the particular case that led me to writing this had included political propaganda with the use of a photo.

Ozil is claiming discrimination against him for being of Turkish descent by his home country, mostly by DFB President and the Media for being heavily political and critical over his actions. Obviously, the Media played a huge role in swaying the sentiments of the general public. In his lengthy statement, he went on the make his point over who he is as a person, as a footballer and how he (has always) identified himself amidst the tirade caused by the photo. 

A couple of years ago, I wrote an essay about heritage & the identity crisis that someone of mixed heritage may face but most, will overcome. I did also mention about how society shapes us as individuals or the society at-large and how it is important for people to understand the differences between ethnicity and nationality. Do not get me started on religion.Not today, not just yet.

For someone, being a particular or many ethnicities, is in their blood but not in their nationality. Just because they identify with the different ethnicities that make up their DNA or whose culture shaped part of their morals, does that make them any less to society?

Society is selective and growingly insensitive. 

I have had my fair share of experiences but nowhere near as grave & public as Ozil’s. In my essay I have covered how I had behaved so I will not repeat myself here.

In any case, I am often stupefied at how backwards we can be when it comes to racism and stereotyping others.

To the naysayers & haters, “Fuck you!”

Stop the stigma, stop the stereotyping and let’s all stop being stupid.

Let's just go. Let's drive away from this mess. We might not have a destination, but who cares? We can be nomads and just...go. Disappear. Escape. Doesn't that sound nice?

Yeah but I don’t want to lose you the same way I feel like I’ve lost everyone else.

I love you. I have for a long time now. I just don't know how to say it.

People have to wake up their senses and realise that stereotyping, stigmatising those around you or any one matter is repressive and out-dated. We ought to be pushing ourselves forward and stand by the values we trust by. Politicians may dictate laws & policies but if we want to be heard and to influence, we can huddle and be stronger together. (Photo creds to owner)
