The White Devil's Pride

Bearing a European polymorphism, I should be branded by shame.

I am the White Devil as they claim.

The Ciakara, a bipedal reptilian that fades in and out of gamma rays.

The Ivory Dragon with razor fangs.

He who breathes flames of artillery; consuming the indigenous cultures of men.

I who supposedly slaughtered, raped, and evangelized my own fen.

A Caucasian falsely accused, I must defend.

I sigh with Celtic lungs.

Long ago in antiquity, they cut my foreskin and Gaelic tongue.

Apprehending my crown and bride while the rebels hung.

Enslaved and hate I have not done, but due to this achromatic shell, their numbers I am among.

But I am the blank hero who is sullied and unsung, for an enemy of all is an enemy of mine

Yet compassion’s tide is on the rise, I am consumed by love for all races and all colors of hides.

Reds, blacks, browns, yellows, blancos and pinks. 

An alabaster bastard I may seem to be, but in the utmost totatality, I am proud I am me.

Despite my lack of melanin; my reverence and acceptance of self sets all others free.

So I will slay the Neo-Nazi supremacists and ethnocentrisms, by nationalist and patriotic decree.

To reorient this cumbersome narrative; as such that I see fit in my mind’s eye.

The Maverick Abolitionist of Light, I let my skin audaciously shine.

So yet again, the fierce Anglo Saxon attacks; swiftly and valiantly one more time.

Only to redefine the phrase “White Pride” so I may make it mine.
