scapegoat

He'd make himself a martyr,
but neither sacrificial lamb
nor scapegoat, he.
He made his own misery.
His persecution nowhere
but his mind, to truth
ever blind. He cannot discern
the difference between
privilege revoked and oppression.
What others have that
he does not is his obsession.
Not recognizing what he truly lacks
is empathy. He begs for sympathy;
pandering to the worst - he
provokes and promotes mobocracy.
