Who Has Not

Who has not had to demur and endure another’s wrath wrongly procured?

Who has not felt their face flush red from an unrighteous rebuke for words never said?

Who has not sat in a crowded room and yet felt all alone in their doom and gloom?

Who has not been subjected to the scorn of the hypocrite’s sanctimonious spurn?

Who has not been kicked to the dust from a friend’s betrayal of their trust?

Who has not known the ache of a heart that breaks?
