America,
unwilling to whitewash history,
I repudiate my white privilege
and beseech your forgiveness
for my white guy's inherited sin
of originating
and being almost the sole perpetrator
of genocide, slavery, war
and all those toxic masculine isms:
racism, imperialism, colonialism, sexism, despotism,…
So then, dear Lord,
in my next iteration
might I be recast
as an immaculate
minority
American woman
(Latina, Asian, Black, or…,)
so I can go
and sin
no more.
