A Leper's Tale


Sometimes 

this warning label 
I am required to wear
by the powers that be
weighs heavy 

All their top witch doctors agree

A more toxic individual 
they have never seen

People therefore avoid me
like a plague infested rat

It use to really hurt
to be ostracized like that
by my judgmental society

but somebody

has to play the role

of designated village freak

Truth be told

I rather enjoy the privacy

that being an outcast affords me
