I'm from.....

I'm from...

I am from the land of hard work and dreams,

Where hope springs eternal, and resilience gleams.

Born in a shack, where the sun shone through,

I fought to rise and make my dreams come true.

I come from the soil of Punjab, rich and fertile,

Where the Mighty Indus flows, relentless and agile.

My family lived on an island, where the river split,

A haven for survival, where we learned to grit.

I stand with the oppressed, the tyrannized, and the weak,

Mai Jindo, George Floyd, their stories I seek.

I believe in Liberté, égalité, fraternité,

A world where justice, equality, and love hold sway.

I am among the millions who love a good cup of tea,

A simple pleasure that fills our hearts with glee.

I am a struggle, a symbol of hope and determination,

A reflection of the human spirit's endless inspiration.

I am an average citizen, a common man, one of the billions of ordinary folks! 

I am Riaz.
