every
single
person
who has ever
fucked me over
looked like me
had pale skin
was born here
wore a uniform
or a suit
and fitted right in
every
single
person
who has ever
stolen from me
was successful
exemplary
loved the flag
and was wealthier
by far than i am
forgive
me
then
if i refuse
to hate
the people
i'm expected
to hate
