You have no right

to your own name

You are what we decide

You are defined without defining

We hereby declare you

Primitive, barbarous, savage

Your defiance is

further evidence

Feel the rhythm pull you in

Dance like life depends on it

The way of life you lead

Called authenticity

The way of life you lead

We call ethnicity

Epistemic silence shall not be named

You have no right

to your own name

You are what we decide

A piece of our tapestry

Our children like your music

Your children speak our language

You will assimilate

Into token amusements

Feel the rhythm pull you in

Dance like life depends on it

The way of life you lead

Called authenticity

The way of life you lead

We call ethnicity

Epistemic silence shall not be named
