Accept 'Except'

[A slam sonnet I wrote after being in a difficult time in my life after a lot of introspection of who I am and the way people are.]

 

Accept 'Except.' 

 

Always are those who don't meet a mirrow,

Never confront the light reflecting pane.

Most are talkers and much less are hearers,

Because even being different is the same.

 

Humanity is hypocritical:

Living lies we warn other not to be.

We are problems solved by individuals,

As soon as we listen to advice given by Me.

 

It is wrong when it can't be admitted,

It is respected when it is stood for.

Fearing acceptance, the truth is not submitted.

We can't love peace because we don't hate war.

 

To confront the mirror, you must reflect.

Instead of being Everyone, be 'Except.'
