Is it OKAY?
December 15, 2015
Is it okay
To hurt another human being?
Is it okay to shun another for not being you?
Is it okay
To kill another because they have different beliefs,
And you see them as inferior?
Is it okay?
How are you any different than me,
-Other than our actual, obvious differences-?
We breathe.
We feel.
We love.
We have heartbeats.
So, why is it acceptable
To lynch people of color?
So, why is it acceptable
To exclude homosexual people?
So, why is acceptable
To kill hundreds of innocent people, who refuse to revert to your religion?
