An Unwilling Sacrifice

Your illegitimate offering,
The cause of my suffering.
Your thirst for pleasure,
Is the cause of my pain.
How could you abandon me?
Don’t you realize you had a hand in me?
More than a bullet in your gun,
I’m your daughter, I’m your son.


This was inspired by a show on TV about the children of sperm donors. It got me thinking about how one man’s actions however casual or irrelevant he may think they are effect the lives of those who follow. So this goes out to all the children, all the men and women who have found themselves sacrificed upon the altar of some man’s self indulgence. Not to say that the man is always to blame, but maybe we’ll discuss women another day.
