A Poem

Old and young,

we bleed the same.

Queer and straight,

we bleed the same.

Fat and thin,

we bleed the same.

Black and white,

we bleed the same.


We were not born to hate—

we are taught to hate.

And those who indoctrinate

are the ones who shan’t create.


We must end this self-obsession,

this sickness that breeds oppression.

Stop feeding children poisoned lies

that twist their hearts and cloud their eyes.


Instead, teach love—teach respect,

so we can learn to reconnect.

Save them from our ignorance,

for we are the same—same—no different.
