I N T O L E R A N C E

I don't want to be hostile.

I don't want to be dismal.

But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

See I want to believe you,

and I want to trust and I want to have faith to put away the dagger. But you lie, cheat, and steal.

And yet

I tolerate you.Veil of virtue hung to hide your method while I smile and laugh and danceand sing your praise and glory.Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma as I smile and laugh and dance and sing your glory

while you lie, cheat, and steal.

How can I tolerate you?

Our guilt,our blame ,I've been far too sympathetic.Our blood, our fault.I've been far too sympathetic. I am not innocent.

You are not innocent.

No one is innocent.
