Differences: A poem by Danielle Grace.
There are facts that some are now recognizing
Which I've known all my life,
The color of one's skin
can cause entire races public strife;
The gender of a birth can suddenly void one's proven expertise,
And if you change that gender some think your sense has ceased;
People call you out of your name for loving differently than religious laws,
Some just assume you are not equal if your views don't mesh in voting stalls;
People put you into foreign boxes when your moxie inspires movements,
So many try to tear you down through violence,
If peaceful protest yields improvements.
