the irony. the disappointment.

it has been my experience that those who claim to be peacemakers, are generally guilty of starting a war.

you tell me my beliefs are silly
and old-fashioned.
you curse me
and the standards i have tried to uphold.
yet you advocate peace and tolerance.
you are angered by the world's unacceptance.
yet you cannot bring yourself to accept me.
I have done nothing to offend you
save hold fast to my convictions.
I have threatened you in no way,
save my silent opposition of your twisted world.
Why am I the only exception to your rule of tolerance?
I have not made you an exception to my rule of unconditional love,
despite your habits of persecution.

apples and oranges?
nay, the same fruit they remain.
