!!What a great honor it is to be Egyptian-
Don't call me Muslim- my faith is not your business, plus my half-brother is Christian
.Don't call me Arab-
... there were no arabs when I was born
.Don't call me African-
... I don't fit ... I'm white
.Don't call me a Man ... or a Woman-
... my culture doesn't know the difference
.Don't call me Middle Eastern-
... I am "middle" nothing ... I am always first
.Don't call me Great-
... I already know that
.Don't call me rich, average, or poor-
.... I have seen wealth come and go since eternity
.Don't call me modern, backward, enlightened, closed, or open-
.... I am multicultural by birth
.Don't call me religious, conservative, liberal, or secular-
.... I am all these things, and much more
.Don't call me Pharaonic-
.... my past lives inside me, but my eyes are on the future
If you have to label me .... if you must describe me-
... I am just simply ... proudly ...Egyptian
