When victimhood becomes fixed
not on suffering experienced
by an individual personally,
but, after persecution ended, on an identity,
something that can be passed on,
to be worn, not experienced personally,
it soon becomes a uniform
and has a life of its own under a flag,
standing beside mass graves,
the proud executioner,
and not the victim
while claiming and allowed
the garb of the victim
that belongs to those
who lie dead at its feet.
