Should I Be a Native Speaker to Speak English?

Against Bigotry, Racism and Arrogance    
   
   
I say, I learned English by osmosis    
Only through keats and wordsworth    
Though, i speak Arabic from birth    
Dare i say, i do it just like did Eesa.?    
   
It took me a few months to learn..    
Sustained by Latin French language    
An asset from colonialism, i earn'd    
Sharpen my wit, much more advantage    
   
Three swords in my hand, i can wield    
And much more civility, into the bargain    
Sorry ! just feel like a valiant knight    
chivalric romantic, not robbers' jargon    
   
My tongue gifted, and my spirit lifted    
My personality humbled, well-educated    
Qorun has smartly, mystically refined    
The raw, rude side of the man that was me    
   
This was not a chanllenge, only an orange    
The red light would blink, were i trespassed !    
Better leave the dormant waters unstirred
keep cool, hope my message was clearly aired !!!
