My Past, My Heritage

My Past, My Heritage
A valuable part of me;
Pride in my Heart, a tear in my Eye--
Until Now.

A misuse--no, an abuse--of the past
A Profanity--
A vulgar mockery of Sacred belief!
A tear in my Eye;
Another on my cheek.
My head--down.

My past, my heritage
A valuable part of Me?
