BRANDED AND CURSED

 

I am a marked man

          branded at birth

          with an indelible scar

 

Less a blemish

more of a curse

the way Hitler branded

          the Jews

 

I am the ogre

who brings despair

upon all I see

 

Who disparages all

that I touch

 

Who desecrates all

that is holy to tribes

not my own

 

For I have been born with

          Original Sin

 

It is as if this scourge

has been carved across

my brow for all to see

in three shameful scarlet letters

          OWG

 

Yes, I am

          OLD WHITE GUY
