faithful few reek of faithlessness
by Michele SchottelkorbIn the dark you do dwell
Secreting bile and hate
From behind closed ideals
Your disdain grows from ignorance
Seek and you shall find
Character and beauty comes
From what you do
From what you give
From what you live
Keep hiding within your lies
Keep your faith under your iron fisted judgmental soul
Are you so different from the acquitted murderers
Who got away with convincing the world they did not exist?
They live in crystal houses I hope yours is made of safety glass11/15/2003 Author's Note: i am saddened by the world of the intolerable and ignorant... again i say my mantra: we are the same... (assuming "we" are GOOD)
