Illegitimate

You have tagged me illegitimate

Exactly just what does that mean?

It mans that my mother was not married

When she dropped me on the scene

Is being illegitimate

Why I can’t get help from you?

Like all those border crossers

Called illegal’s do

Is that why I am sitting on death row

Eating my last meal

Because all the judges chose to ignore

An illegitimates appeal

And if I were to be deported

To where would it be?

To mars or to the moon

Or to an abandoned oil barge

Stranded far out at sea

Why should I have to go through life

Looking up at you

Like something that accidentally

Got caught underneath your shoe

Take a good look into your closet

And you might be shocked to see

That you were dropped off

By the same age old stork

That special delivered me
