“A Victim of Circumstance” 7/27/2012 #New

“A Victim of Circumstance”

Each passing moon,

Any person can become,

A “Victim of Circumstance”.

Discrimination that place casualties,

On a mental plantation.

Segregation,

From all that is “fair” and “just”,

Has become an unfortunate reality,

That has start to cripple “US”.

We lust for equality.

Minorities, Woman, Gay’s,

And even Atheist,

Are somehow punished,

For what they believe.

Who they are on the outside,

Or dreams from deep within.

Why are they described as Outcast,

Why is this considered their “Sin”?

They are often,

“A Victim of Circumstance”.

They are often,

A victim of Men.

Mankind has set a new precedence.

You can no longer “Think” for yourself,

So you hide,

In another person’s beliefs,

Never gaining spiritual wealth.

You become “A Victim of Circumstance”,

You live this until you die.

Each passing moon,

Your hair turns gray.

You live this until you die.

The End
