The saddest story ever told
Is not just a story of growing old
Nor sifting empty pans of gold
The saddest story to behold
Is to be born one of the fold
Appearing like you’re
In the wrong skin color
In the wrong sex
In the wrong way
To live as yourself
That the body says
I am a good person
Deserving of love
And the world says
(But in the wrong body!)
For one to be loved
Gay Mississippi
Find refuge in love
Federal appeals
Highest number of
Anti bills introduced
Just this year
An error in human history
The concept that there is
Confusion about
Each one of us deserving
To be loved to know love
Racism too racist countries
And states Indiana equates
Very low in measured progress
Big giant world
Filled with all kinds of folks
We must find a way
In our hearts and best selves
To say without question
You are deserving of love
No matter the skin color
No matter the sex
Let kindness be first
As acceptance exists
The greatest story has yet
For us all to behold!
