Saint or sinner? - FOR OSCAR WILDE
It is a question, not a statement
But for your life the former didn't count
How they perceived you was more paramount
Oscar? How painfully you had to bend
The lies and twists, the pain
How they made you betray yourself
And crawl through dust, and delve
Your grave, all you did feign.
You remain my hero, all I ever knew
I would never write my poetry,
Be openly gay, because, you see?
Saint nor sinner, that's how I see you.
***
For contest: Saints and sinners.
