Purely innocent
Completely tolerant
Unconditionally loving
Totally understanding
Overtly gullible
Unobtrusively humble
Intimately sympathetic
Thoroughly empathetic
Throughout caring
Never ignoring
Perpetually loyal
Consistently grateful
Labouriously studious
Discreetly judicious
Immediately yielding
Indiscriminately sharing
Socially polite
Un-assumedly modest
Flexibly adjusting
Unquestioningly accepting
Astonishingly punctual
Immanently answerable
Ever committed
Naturally obligated
All definitions read but not hold good,
For, being good is definitely being victimised!

Oh, why hast thou forsaken me, O Christ?
We, born of the same womb,
Suckled at the same teat,
Seen the same first light from the same vantage?
I, too, feel betrayed.
You strained for a higher purpose
And neglected our fraternity
I cannot forgive you for such a crime.
The rage I feel is real,
The envy is murderous,
The disdain complete
The separation irreconcilable.
The father you mention is, assumedly, also mine
Our seed is of the same origin
This is no immaculate conception
We had the same bloody birth.
Our mother may have belied her betrothal
With a tryst.
And lain with a man more visceral than this god
Of which you speak.
Yet, still I will claim our brotherhood.
Yet, still I will acknowledge our lineage
Yet, still I will feel the same kinship
But always you will be : kin but less than kind or kind.
