‘Cuz They Are the Same

Tue, 04/27/2021 - 13:31 -- -Ash-

Some people differ

They are stiffer than stiffer

They breathe in different air

 No, they don’t care

Bravery

 

Every night I pray

For the gay

To be respected

I don’t want them to be rejected

Respect 

 

I see the blacks

Shot with insults behind their backs

All they want

Is to not be taunt

Justice

 

Oh, the people with polio

Are called crippled although 

They can not control it

They wish to outwit it

Together 

 

The strong activists

And the believing fundamentalists

Are threatened 

But for these things, they are weaponed

Prepare

 

And how I wish for respect

For peace to affect

Wipe away those tears

Conquer your fears 

YOU ARE STRONG.
