I have been <br />Defected <br />Inflected, <br />Affected, <br />Injected, <br />Corrected <br />Inspected, <br />Neglected, <br />Objected, <br />Ejected, <br />Selected, <br />Subjected, <br />Suspected, <br />Rejected, <br />For decades; <br />I like that. <br /> <br /> <br />I am vaccinated now <br />With the latest <br />Human attitude virus, <br />Against pride, <br />Love's flu, and <br />The ego's Asthma. <br /> <br />Now, <br />I feel baked, <br />Bleached, <br />Grilled, <br />Cooked, <br />Connected, and <br />Protected.<br /><br />Atef Ayadi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-like-being-rejected/
