being systematically
humiliated
not flagrantly
rather in subtle ways
invisible to everyone
even the one concerned
veils the clarity of the mind
with a screen of confusion
inhibiting the shine of the soul
meant to illuminate
the world
diminishing the intensity
of its light
hence the power
of its mercy
blurring the faculty
of discernment
into inappropriate
conclusions
as the world is seen
through the very same screen
of humiliation
