We must be gentle with beliefs.
But what of those who've experienced
What others just can't believe?
Does anything, for them, stay true?
Can anyone be trusted?
All that they need is someone
To believe them. Why is that wrong?
Where is the threat? Why must their
Humanity be abandoned
So that others can feel more comfortable
With the truth of their lies?
The system simply runs this way.
There are people who get A's
For signing their name, and others
Who fail from the envy of teachers,
And watchers who learn so much from this.
It makes them wiser, to look past,
Confront the sad, the alien,
To trust in the rawness of fate.
They'll learn, in the end, how essential
The individual really is,
To come this way from one's own world
To be part of one that is shared.
