Cast me out,
Throw me down.
Wear that holier than thou crown.
Talk about me.
Like I'm not around.
What makes you better than me?
Why are you us and I am them?
Cast me out,
Throw me down.
Wear that holier than thou crown.

An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed be.

Good vent!!  Great title!!  
I'll pass on the crown, although some people like the look.

Hope it helped to write this out.  Poetry is not always pretty, nor should it be.

good write, rachel~

Delightful!
It's short, crisp,and fun to read.
I just read it to my wife and she liked it too.
You could add, "Do you think I am some dumb clown."
I believe you have just made my day a little brighter. Keep writting, dark days may come, but I'm sure your delightful poems will buck me up.

Good and relevent questions asked here that perhaps more of us should ask. It is this holier than thou attitude in this world that creates segregation and promotes hatred, the quicker we lose it the less wars and death we will inflict on fellow humans, afterall we are ALL humans and ALL gods children...thank you for this important write, you could feel your disgust of the attitude within your words....be well...

Thank you all for your comments. I was quite angry with my co-workers the day I wrote that.

fondamental questionning about communication, the words resonate deep and great; enjoyed a lot and kind of symetry between the "I" and the "you",

thanks

These people like to point you out in order to distract attention where it really belongs, on them.
Well done,
Ms. E
