It's not my fault
The racism of others
The greed
The hate—
These things I did not create.
I am not THEM.
and yet...
Here I bear the mark of Cain
Born of a system that oppresses Others
for no GOOD reason.
I tip toe
I guard
I let others speak
Does oppression of self (ac)count for anything?
Wait!
I have been oppressed, too!
The System™ oppresses everyone.
Is the argument that I get to CHOOSE
to be oppressed?
That true oppression means
LACK of CHOICES?
I wish I had the money to prove you wrong.
All I can do is create art.
