Citizen Gee

Citizen Gee (broadcast Jan 2012) . If my family is my nation, then how can I be a citizen? If my street were my nation, would its laws be written in… A way we can understand, so we can shake our neighbour’s hands, United so we can, cease to fight our fellow man, . If my nation was my borough, would it’s focus be thorough? And how would we view others who we don’t see as brothers? Or should I claim my city? Amidst the grime and the gritty… Concrete streets, could I seek to find that which uplifts me? . Now what about my country? Isn't that where my love lies? Wars have been fought in her name which historians can’t deny, But can competition be confined to a football field? Or do graveyards have to be filled with patriotic zeal? . Now what about my colour? Does that link me to another? Who shares the same struggle: My sister, My brother! But who then belongs? And who’s confined with the others? Do we separate grades & shades to determine who suffers? . You see we all seem to want to belong & just... ...Focus on our differences that are strong in us, So I need me a group: One to identify with, see? So I can wave my flag high & let it fly free, That I can cheer my team to cheer on, because it defines me, Whether it’s right or it’s wrong.... it dignifies me, . But my group can’t be too big & it certainly can't be too diverse, I want to feel I’m elite, not common and cursed! ‘Cos my group is the best group and "No man can test” group If you’re North, then I’m South, if you’re East, then I’m West group! . It’s difficult to accept that there's just one human race. That’s why we cling to our divisions & exhibit our hate, Maybe one day we’ll listen to the wise men who say: "We don’t own the earth...Mother earth owns us," . And Everybody Everybody Everybody Everybody Everybody here, is on a temporary stay! . (c) Mr Gee
