A White Procedural Mask

MCD

Back a millennia they burned and buried,
flames touching the Kingdom’s sky of rotting
evermore yet nothing changes nevermore,
homeless poor and cursed from stigma
and fear left to die in a capitalist ditch,
buried under like bringing out the dead,
black plague and buboes burning bodies
everywhere whether Witches
or not to suffer a God’s wrath, and
millions with flu, chicken or swine
learn their fate and die and die and die
while out of the hacks and sneezes
and enemy, ebola terrorism grows,
panic ensues us to run and hide
marking the doors of others less
pure, a bloody X or hand, a
kiss of death, an anonymous tip
they’re taken away not even a Jew,
just running a fever you’re whisked
away, then they come for your brothers
and sisters, a cold they say, and
then someday soon I’m quarantined
too, just because I looked this way
