A/N: This is not a poem, nor my own writing.

Dedicated to Andrew Hussie

The Final Sermon

I have been peaceful.
I have been kind.
I only dare to speak of what others have dreamed for so long.

I had dreams, too.
Dreams of what might have been.

Where blood was simply blood.
And all of us were equal.
If wishing for that is herracy,
Then yes,
I deserve to die.

I've seen acts of most sublime kindness
And the most vile cruelty.
They say powerful beings find anger
When they have no room for love.

What made you so?
Are you scared of change?
Scared of those who are different?

I realize,
I am different from you.
I have known feelings
That none of you would
Ever hope to know.

I have known the comrodery of a friend
Who has supported me
Against all odds

I have known the compassion of
A guardian who took me in
When no others would,
And raised me to dream and hope.

I have known a love
And passion
That transcended definition

There is no use hiding it now...
You all can see me for what I am!
The Signless,
The Sufferer,
The Mutant.
My blood burns brightly for all to see.

It is a flame of revolution
That you cannot ever
Hope to quell.

My memory can be erased,
But my idols will never die.

My mistake was believing that
I could change a world infected
By hate and corruption.

You have taken an innocent troll
And his blessings
Into a curse.

The pity you've taken on my Disciple
Will wound her.
She has known true love
And you have forced her
To a life of solitude!

Forced a mother to watch her son DIE!
I see you for what you are...

I always FUCKING HAVE!
I THOUGHT I COULD
FUCKING CHANGE YOU!
Fuck ME FOR BEING
A FUCKING FOOL!

FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
...fuck

I am angry...

Because I forgive you...

I may be the biggest fucking fool
In Alternia...

But when I close my eyes,
I see a world where we all
Work together...

And it is so fucking...

Beautiful.
