He was Different
He studies;
He is taunted for not playing football.
He worships no God;
He is reprimanded for having no morals.
He chooses to marry another;
He is deemed revolting and unnatural.
He chances upon a piece that writes the truth.
He shares it with those unlike himself.
He is laughed at for thinking change could ever come.
He continues to read despite those opposed.
He holds onto hope of acceptance and change.
His son may live to see the world he dreamt of.
