I the Epileptic
                                       by Eric L. Giese
An epileptic such as I
am all too often viewed
with predudice an ugly word,
yet one which rings so true.
We are seen as "different"
"lesser than" or viewed
with sympathy.
How absurd and insane it is
a damned hypocrisy!
An epileptic such as I
must stand against this view.
As but one man, no more
nor less, among the rest of you.
