Discrimination Needs To Die

Everybody should be treated With the courtesy that's needed To survive---not live in fear Their identity will disappear Because others wont accept Who they are with pure respect The traits their born with instantly Should be loved so equally From people with bad ideas That bully others everywhere Who don't fit the "normal" crowd So they are shunned and shut out Leaving them so scarred and hurt They're forever on alert Wishing they could fit inside A world where they don't have to hide And be welcomed with hello's Friendly faces where they go No more worries pain or hate Dreaming of this feels great Wishing this dream will be real For every outcast who can feel The wrath of each and every bully It is pure insanity That we all can't get along Discrimination is just wrong

As a gay man, I understand discrimination pretty well, so once again you've penned a poem to which I can relate. Very socially-conscious and great message; excellent work, Sweet Pea! <3

Robin, how true. Sadly, I live in fear. I know it does not show much here. But, I happen to be an outcast... I pulled myself away from society 3 years ago. I hide at work.. At home, I log on to the soup, where I'm like an outcast... Did you know that here at the shop we have poets, whom others will not accept. I will not tell you in what way. However, I would have not made here on the soup with my PEN NAME, if it was not for wonderful poets like you. Discrimanation and judgment is wrong.-mail
