You engulf my body in your warm embrace and sometimes,
I can almost forget the colonisation.
Chai Tea (Tea – Tea) you cultural appropriating narcissists.
Haldi has been used for centuries to achieve a glowing body,
Inside and out.
Stop pretending your invented it for your trendy lattes, diluted
skincare and juice shots.
Naan Bread (Bread – Bread)
If you need naan to handle the spice,
you should just leave my food alone.
You’ve already bullied me for my home-packed lunch.
My culture is not a costume.
My religion does not oppress me.
My nationality and ethnicity are not the same.
Thank you to the English for my confused identity.
I should just add more sugar to my tea.
For the way I see the world is far too bitter.
