Fullness Becomes
Fullness becomes the greater sin
compared to tradition’s kin
those thoughts that build tall walls
some escape by firm resolve
to know something beyond a cage
constructed by men in past days
the frame existing in small minds
only indebted to their own kind
dictating what could be
by the pages with red print
intolerance by mirage
projected from frightened hearts
if only they could relate
to the breadth some exclaim
staying true to themselves
while the world sees much less.

i really like how you address subjects head-on but without any victim-voice. there's strength and reflection in your writing.
