It’s exhausting fending off repeated attacks
From someone with a sharp knife, a seeming tireless arm,
And the absolute conviction of their right to preemption.
The assumption everybody is the enemy,
The misfortune of your proximity,
Make you fair game in the eyes of the righteous.
It is enough you express individuality,
A separateness of thought
Or commit the egregious offence of their misunderstanding.
There is no need for a trial.
Guilt is self-evident.
Retribution is justice.
