Day 86: Stupidhead

(Written April 7, 2011)

Ugly girl
From the mouth of a child
Must it, then, be true?
It is if that child is taught to hate and fear
Anyone looking like you.

Child you have my pity
For, though you know it not now,
Your life is so much poorer
For so many of the ideologies handed down to you.
You have my pity, but only just,
Because you hurt my feelings.
