Penalty

Penalty

Do you hear the echoes of the damned?

Then you’re one of us in the outcast land

For we walk among and smile and stand

But when we talk, shout or cry, all that’s heard is deny

So insanity and depression is our common transgression

Blamed for those hurts inflicted by social aggression

If you don’t convene at a time and place to be seen

If you don’t undertake the weaknesses that turns you green

This social sin of refusing to fit behaviorally in

Wonder at the metaphysics that push on and on

Is it society that amorphous deity?

Is it merely the most base and so it’s easy?

Unanswered or rhetorical its observations of the anecdotal

Weakness of spirit or is it convenient versus arrogant?

Difference is a gap that shifts between chasm and crack

So navigate the traps and society may yet slap your back
