A Poem by Legion

That which does not kill us might still.

Tattoos

Numbers stenciled boldly....swollen.

Collected possessions....stolen.

Stars stitched; the symbolic....defined.

Scars above stain beneath....defiled.

Prejudicial regime....enraged.

Interned; freedom taken....encaged.

Branded cattle slaughtered....horrific.

Numbers penciled coldly....statistic.

The pattern of your poem sharpens your point in a way I would have never thought of. Nice work.
