(Poem 243 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)
Severus’s mother was the magical
being he wished he could be named
for instead of his Muggle father whose
surname he got stuck with—Snape.
To hate your own blood, or any part of
yourself is a curse that can only lead
to misery and misfortune for the bearer.
I suppose he had that in common with
Tom and Hitler, and who knows how
many other evil people who throughout
time have wanted to root out others
because they despise their own roots.
