Am I to blame?

Enveloped in grief I am.
An awful truth I have learnt.
An innocent child I was born.
But the stars said I was a murderer.
I brought with me the death of the older one.
Was I an ill omen, an evil one, an ogbanje?

I am guilty of a crime I did not commit.
I did nothing. Yet it is my fault.

I brought it with my birth.
I write this for myself.
Cause noone else would understand.

Thank God I do not believe in the signs of the stars and prophecies of the zodiac !

And yet I ask myself......
Am I to blame?
