Be Open Minded [Genius Hour (ABACB)]


I don't understand when people feel animosity towards someone they've never met.

Just for their religion, sexuality, or color of skin.

When someone is different they shouldn't have to walk down the street in a cold sweat.

Biologically, people are people.

When will white poppies lie where lynchings had been.

 

Another person's sexuality isn't our choice.

Don't assume a person is something based on a stereotype.

When people aren't harassed or picked on for being gay, then I'll rejoice.

Love is love,

It's not based on someone's body type.

 

Religions are opinions and shouldn't be an excuse to kill.

People live in fear because a viewpoint tricked people into killing, then acting blinded.

Without diverse people, the world would be boring and still.

Opinions are opinions,

They aren't a reason to kill, be open minded.
