The Fury of the Excluded

I hold this poem very close to heart for personal reasons, so please read it with care.

The Fury of the Excluded


By all that sets upon us, the damned

Why is it us, the purest of heart

That faults the most; suffering present in,

We, the blamed, for what we have enacted.


Of all our fierce sins and love

Why do we have this confliction

Some revelation of thought - a pendulum

We, the blamed, doomed to be judged.


We, the target of furrowed brow

Conspire and plea, the effortless

Of typical, futile apology

We, the blamed, muster the bravery.
