Labeled "bastard"
Labeled 'bastard" because of misinformation,
Society's prejudice has become an abomination,
Families exist in different ways and forms,
Who is to say, what is the norm?
Shallow people shun the non-traditional,
assuming that a child born out of wedlock
is criminal,
These are the same folks that pretend to
serve God,
Yet, they don't find their biased behavior odd,
Labeling anyone a "bastard" without knowing the facts,
reflects poorly on the rumour mills who are downright indecent
and "slack".
