Differences

How can you say

That people that just want to have

The same basic human rights as you

Are monsters worse than Lucifer himself?

I will never be able to understand that.

And yet

That is all people see when someone is different.

They don't understand

That not everyone fits into

The narrow little world they've created in their heads.

People are different.

Not everyone will fall into

A category everyone finds acceptable.

It's impossible.

So explain to me why

Whenever someone is even just the slightest bit different

They are shunned.

I don't understand it.

Audre Lorde, "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."
