A Broken Chameleon Circuit Is A Good Thing

Like the Doctor, I want to travel this world,
this universe.
Like the Doctor, I want to see a change, I want:
"To be the change I want to see."
Like the Doctor, who sees the good and sees the man.
There is no prejudice, there is no racism.
In all the universe, in all of time, in all dimensions,
Equality for man and woman, human and alien,
Only one lens to see the world:
The lens of choice.

 

900 Year old wisdom can love 19 years old innocence,
A lizard woman can love a human woman,
A captain can love everyone,
A tree woman can face the fire,
A clockwork android can be beautiful.
They are all fantastic and magnificent,
Only until their choices prove them to be unworthy or cruel,
Until their choices make them ugly, they shall be beautiful.

 

Even an oncoming storm can be a savior,
Even an everyday temp can be the most important woman in the universe,
Even a nurse can do harm,
Even a news reporter can ask the wrong questions,
Even a Queen can ignore the pain of her subjects,
Even a guilty man can forget.
Until our choices be judged,
Let us not be judged.
Before our judgment,
Let us first walk in another's Converse.

 

Halt our guns in destruction,
Allow us to use a sonicscrewdriver to repair.
We are not at the end of time,
A Police Box will still hail for aid.
Whether we are:
Headless Blue or
A 900 year old war guilty Time Lord or 
A naked church goer or
A young mother or
A fat Adipose,
Welcome the diverse and mundane,
Grant second chances.

 

Strive to see this world and the next,
Seek the acceptance of all peoples.
