Denial of Freedom
What the hell is Trans-gender?
Who are the judges appointed
To send these children into the dark
Without so much as a flashlight?
Why do the innocents have to suffer
For the ignorance of their elders
For the unconscious majority
Of the planet's population?
It is the way of the future
Our children will live there
With their genders identified
As an evolutionary process continues.
We question with furrowed eyebrows
We look with curiosity
We love unconditionally
We accept with faith.
Some of us will cry
For not understanding sooner
For allowing the suffering
That ended with suicide.
Some of us will understand
Before it's too late
That we hold the healing light
And the power of choice.
