This is a short poem that I wrote about a decade ago. I try to live by every line. Including the lines in the second stanza.

THE FERAL CODER

For decades, I paid a price
For nothing that I re­ceived
In the end, I was deceived

I'm not nice
This needs to be understood
Look under the hood
I'm the Feral Coder now

Here is the lesson to you from me
Those who judge right and true
Based on what peo­ple do

As opposed to what they're perceived to be
Who embrace diversity
Who accept the constitutive other
These are the ones to call your brother
Put aside God above
These are the ones to value and to love
