A single story tells a single perspective

Sometimes, told with specific objectives.

Acceptance requires an effort to open each fold

To search for a heartfelt truth that’s bold

 

It takes courage to be respective

To love fully without being subjective

To categorize or ignore is to be cold

Looking away is choosing to fit a poor mold

 

Black or white, all lives matter, be respective

Make unconditional love a central objective

Every life has a journey to unfold

Be open to all stories and place no other into a set mold

 

In honor of all individuals who face hardship due to set perspectives they’ve been taught. Open yourselves up to the truth with respectful love. All lives matter, even the grass and trees we pass down the street.
