Branded!

To be marked with disdain.

What do you do when you're branded,

By those who only complain

My opinion,

it was not liked

So, I get ridicule of my tweet

From minds closed tight

I’m Branded!

By those who want control

They trade in their heritage

For a pocket full of gold

When you’re forced to comply

to do what you would not

the anger builds inside

when you're taxed then you're mocked
