"leprosy Utah"
my seed came to me
with a bump on his face
and ask why we both
had the same on our faces
and why it had showed up
over night?
lie to the child
lie for heavens place
lie, and never tell
him the truth of hate
spin a not knowing
so he will think every things alright
but in my own eye
the fear spilled out
the shame of what
has happen to his face
the shame of knowing
i failed to keep the fallen
from my door
the shame
