With Change


How is it okay

to discriminate, hate, or criticize

based on cruel judgements made

without

any previous knowledge

of that person's reality?

How is it okay

to ruin someone's life

with

just a couple of words?

How is it okay

to make laws that stop someone else's

happiness because of a problem

with

sexuality, choices, or morals?

If I had the choice to change anything

in the whole wide world,

I would create a world

without

hate, or discrimination, or cruelty.

And that would be a world where people would live in

with

absolute peace.
