Regina Elliott Poet Rhyme

We Shouldn't Take Other's Humanity

In South Carolina, walking to his car outside of
Brew's Bar peacefully,
twenty year old Sean William Kennedy,
was punched in the face and died that day,
simply because he was gay.

Us members of such a cruel human race,
shouldn't take other's humanity-
The LGBTQ community has a right 
to shared space. ~

Gershon Wolf November 23, 2023 at 8:16 PM Absolutely. What a vicious, heinous crime! Thanks for the enlightenment, gw Regina Elliott November 28, 2023 at 8:02 AM Thank you, Gershon. As members of God's community, we owe it to each other to be kind to one another. Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen that way. Am Yisreal Chai ~
