Heritage

Victimized, but not a victim
Never charged, but always blamed
I can hear them maledicting 
But I cannot feel ashamed 
Cause my guilt is just a nation
Means I’m carrying within
The inherited frustration
Of the other people’s sin
Funny how it feels unfair
And ridiculously sad
To be someone but nowhere
To be no one but not dead
I feel sorry for the angels
Cosmic managers of ours 
Sorry for the lack of changes
Broken trees and faded flowers
Please don’t take it as complaint 
Just admit that I’m aware 
If it matters - I can wait 
And I will, for better share.
