Just Be

Black, white wrong, right straight, gay night, day meek, freak open, sneak Would it be easier without labels? Could we just say I am that I am Who I am because I am...God's child! Rich, poor faithful, whore corrupt, pure professional, amateur mom, dad good, bad strong, weak homely, street Could we learn just to be? and not hurt anybody?

It would be nice, wouldn't it? To me people are people, let them be who they want to be because at the end of the day, we are all just people.
