Die hard fans
Rage through existence,
Canceled left and right
For their own narcissism.
Like a sitting duck
Ones fate is surely sealed;
When kindness is forgotten
To endorse the lesser evil.

Speak now brave warrior-
Or forever hold your shame.
Announce a startling penance
As you whisper my name:
She who was wronged not forgotten
Sits quietly in the yard.
Moping about the leaves,
Hanging there in tandem,
Tied closely to a tree;

She who was forgotten not wronged
Sits bankrupt in the dark,
An acoustic without echo,
Empty reverb from the heart.
She who was wronged and forgave…
The passive non-existence
Of a world that’s been censored
Into an early grave.
