Morning Rituals

Every morningBetween bitesOf a buttery parathaAnd gharam chaiI was remindedBy Ammi

Be nice to everyoneSay thank you and sorryRemember your mannersMake sure you're cleanRespect your teachersDon't give them a chanceTo thinkWe're badOnly say how good religion isWe're civilizedSo they get thisTerrorist image out of their headAnd I thought to myselfHow funny that I have to convinceOthers to treat meSee me like themLike a human.
