Poems
Sep 2020
I Was
I was a bigot,
My body wrapped in red and white,
With blue eyes on stardom.
I was a saint,
Satan's servant with a Bible,
A man of God's war crimes.
I was a fundamentalist,
Funding mental lists of hate
With money stolen from the poor.
I was a colonist,
Carving out sacred land
For the benefit of my white body.
I was a misogynist,
Marking my territory like a dog,
******* on the otherβs freedom.
I was an American,
A white straight man,
A brutal prodigy of the patriarchy.
I was
As he was,
A lineage that will be broken.
