I Am Eligible

No matter even I'm an infant
Whom the heart craves for a peck
But the racial blade beseeches for my icy blood
Whilst I become an offspring of their preys
Apparently, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm a student
Whom the eyes devote for snuggery
But the apartheid bullet implores my dwellings
Whilst I become a beacon of hope against their rapines
Manifestly, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm a teenage girl
Whom the mankind fosters for germination
But the regimental lust conspires my worthiness by gang-rape
Whilst I become a future-mother against their aim
Evidently, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm a moral beau
Whom the world relies on in veracity
But the chauvinistic impedance anticipates slaughtering my head
Whilst I become a barrage against their conspiracy
Distinctly, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm an old lady
Whom the mankind adores for nurturance
But the rascal hatred gladdens to set me in ablaze
Whilst I become a resilience against their rapacity
Obviously, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm a mutual tycoon
Whom the globalization longs for inspiration
But the supremacist scheme defeats eliminating my virtue
Whilst I become an anchor against their enmity
Surely, being a Rohingya is enough for them
For it, I'm verily eligible.

No matter even I'm an eminent aid-actor
Whom the humanity wheedles for benevolence
But the mischievous attitude grapes my exigency
Whilst I become a tutelage against their antipathy
Certainly, being a Rohingya is enough for them.
For it, I'm verily eligible.
