Sense Sonnet - Acher

 It's Never Me

It's never me so far in life

That's suffered because of my race.

I've been spared that struggle and strife

Of others in same time and place.

It's never me condemned as fraud

For the religion I believe,

For how I choose to pray to God,

Persecution I don't receive.

It's never me the victim of

Discrimination because I

Have chosen the same sex to love.

I've not been forced to answer why.

Lucky so far, it's never me,

But know sometime that it could be.
