Forgive the crimes that don’t exist except in the minds of little men who exclaim without reserve what others fail to observe counting slights where none exist while exclaiming holy names still the pundits harbor hate stated to the lost's dismay
those who travel outside of bounds moving to their inner plot a compass that many have still the squares will complain denying likeness is at play a minority against the whole it seems enough to stoke the flames turn the night into day
they believe sins are paramount spun from cloth they only view a cloak of shame that’s fully false only seen in bigot’s eyes stating choice is at play instead of a natural tilt it matters not what’s then said when natures are firmly fixed.
The poem “Minds of Little Men” was inspired by a news article about a Southern mayor who recommending killing the queer community. He later retracted his statement, but the sentiment is sadly too commonly heard by marginalized groups.
