What's your name?

This is my first attempt at poetry after decades.I have been inspired by MV Fabiyas, a poet who lives in a village in North Kerala, but publishes poems all over the world.Here's the link to my write-up about him:https://shevlinsebastian.blogspot.com/…/the-village-poet.ht…And here's my poem:
What’s your name?
By Shevlin Sebastian
I am so happyMy mother gave me an unusual first nameFor somebody who lives in India.When I utter itPeople squint their eyesTheir eyebrows shoot upSometimes, they open their mouthsTrying to figure outWhether I am Hindu, Muslim,Christian, Jain, Parsi, Sikh or JewThey want desperatelyTo pigeonhole meAnd once pigeonholedThey can let their prejudices rise upLike a nuclear submarineComing up to the surfaceBut with this first nameThey can’t do thatNo other name, they ask?No, I lie.Let them stewIn their frustrationsSuch awful peopleThese racists,These bigots,These fascists.Thank you, Mother!
