Abominations

Funny how this world works.
OC told me once about this time Max saved Normal's ass… Saved his life. And now
suddenly he's on a witch hunt against her. All because he suspects she might be
transgenic, and transgenics are bad because the nightly news tells him so.
In this world, Jerry Caldwell is a "righteous" man. Ames White is a "true patriot". And
nobody cares that one's a xenophobe or that the other strangled his own fucking wife
because his wacko cult buddies told him to. But whether they know it or not, I've
suddenly gone from being a rock star and a Roman gladiator, to an "abomination"
perpetrated by the scientific community… And all because I have a barcode on the back
of my neck, and Jerry Caldwell and Ames White don't.
It's fucked up how this world works, is what it is.
I've listened to my "friends" talk about my kind like we're some sort of monsters to be
feared. Or insects to be squashed.
And I've told myself not to take it personally. After all, it's just Sketchy and Normal.
They're just normal; human. Sometimes it's hard for normal humans not to hate the
things they can't understand.
So what's my excuse? For hating them all back?
Sometimes it's hard not to hate back…even when you do understand.
Because being understandable isn't the same as being right. Being justified isn't always
the same as being just. And being transgenic isn't the same as being bad… Even if the
nightly news says it is.
