At the Fringes

By Andrew R. Duckworth

I want to speak with the ‘crazies’
The ones that are chastised,
Called insane for daring to speak.

I want to speak with the fringes,
The ones with wild ideas
That go against the grain.

I want to hear about the weird,
The things that are silenced
For the sake of the powerful.

I want to hear
About what they’ve done
To us.
