Stigma

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

Stigma,
it's the second wave of pain
,
an injury inflicted on a wound already there -
the isolation following the lonely:
Stigma.

Stigma,
its illiterate and blind:
the offspring of a willingness for prejudice and pride.
It’s a runoff of uninformed opinions:
Stigma.

And we all add a weight
to the weight of a cross
someone already bears
in the midst of us.
Oh, stigma.

Stigma -
the harmless little jokes
perpetuated by a sea of ordinary folk.
Hatred it sustains discrimination.
Stigma.

Oh, we must remedy
this Hellish parody,
and call it out by name,
for many are the hands
which raised this
monument to shame.

Stigma
from people we call friends,
politicians, family, and even our physicians;
it’s a vicious and veiled persecution,
Stigma.
