Fundamentalists

They defend a religion I profess;

They uphold a religion I practice.

They work in a manner I despise.

They indulge in violence I abhor.

I mind my way, indifferent to them.

I live away, unmindful of their likes.

I avoid establishing any track.

I’m identified with them by the rest.

I am blamed for being quiet with them,

For having some soft corner for such ones,

And for not screaming loud enough at all

To shut their fringe down open inpublic.

I am embarrassed to mingle with the rest.

I am ashamed to be a part of the peace.

The fundamentalists must give me allowance.

The society may take me to confidence.
