Othello

Othello
(To O.J. Simpson)
By Tatiana Pahlen

Nicole is dead,
So is your soul, OJ;
it has died due to thy testimony.
Relive this tragedy:
look up the end,
slaying of Desdemona.

Shakespeare was no bigot
when plotted his play,
crafting a wondrous hero.
He named him Othello —
a virile black male,
with the body as big as his ego.

Who plunged a dagger
into his own heart,
First he killed a beloved wife,
Proving,
"Jealousy destroys itself
And the object of its love."
