My birth is an Accident

My birth is an accident
You say it’s preordained
Past Karma the decider:
I question that logic
When discourse follows fact;
Your intention clear
To help me digest shame
Or worse, to subjugate
In name of unknown crimes
Your Just One sits in judgment
After the deeds are done
That’s part of Divine police code
Blind Justice who cannot see
Anguish and death,
Back breaking burdens
On a million beasts
Condemned to thousand deaths
Before they die each day.


Our births are accidents
That give rights, empower
Or condemns to indignity
Exclusion or inclusion
Written on forehead
As we sleep in mother’s arms
Though red blood flows in both veins
That crack turns into divergence
And positioned far apart
Babes learn to hate and defile
A slew of tales sustain rift
Pitting self against self
Till in death we meet
Siblings once more
Returning to same womb

Death less unwanted than life
