Branded Poem by Chip Schaller
Branded
Chided chains secure the patient
Jurors gather for the show
Judges callously are saying
What you reap is what you sow
Roaring flames from cruel lessons
Kindled by regret with blame
Paper hopes and dreams are burning
Stoke the guilt and fan the shame
Fiery coals from ancient traumas
Glowing with an angry red
Pleas for mercy disregarded
No regard for what was said
Branding iron lays in waiting
Stigma stamp a scorching white
Insult adds to shattered spirit
Label adding to the plight
Throw the chains that cause the binding
Kick the iron with a scream
Refuse accepting any label
Fight to hold the self-esteem

Like an advocate, you have nicely argued the case of those who are carrying shame and stigma for no fault of theirs, whatsoever. This constant branding by the devils in the society is a curse. Thanks. ....Judges callously are saying / What you reap is what you sow ....Insult adds to shattered spirit /....Fight to hold the self-esteem
