covet them,
the spit-upon
wretches, the
damaged,

the quiet, the meek,
the hustlers, the
addicts,
the broken,

the street-rats, the
gangsters, the jealous,
the disreputed, the lazy,

savor them, let them in,
for they are the grit
that will whet the righteous
and polish that
which is worth fighting for.
