Shame

Shame, shame. (Ring, ring)
Shame, shame. (Ring, ring)
Shame, shame. (Ring, ring)

– Septa Unella

“Games Of Thrones”

The only way this ends

Is, by everyone walking away

In shame

On one end

Shame for those who

Lifted nary a finger to prevent it

(Me, I’m lifting fingers)

(Albeit to a very small audience)

What else can I do, “Fight” city hall?

We know how that turns out

“I fight authority, authority always wins
I’ve been doing it since I was a young kid
I’ve come out grinnin’
I fight authority, authority always wins”

– John Mellencamp


On the other end

The shame of regret for those

Getting so riled up in hatred

Following a narcissistic grifter

Guiding gullible groups

Into not thinking

Not thinking they are focusing

Their self hatred onto

A mirror they can not see

Hating immigrants

Their own ancestors once were

Despising women for being

The reason they are in this dimension

Not recognizing the constant miracle

Holding this fragile ecosystem together

As something that may be survivable



Disgraced nearly to death after realizing

The people they projected their hate onto

May very well be why they stay alive

And help them to heal their shame



“I write to expunge the darkness so
That someday light may shine through”


– Angelo Devlin
