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?
