About Bigots

By Sonia Schreiber Weitz

I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE,

I KNOW HOW IT FEELS

TO BE DISRESPECTED OR WORSE…

I KNOW HOW IT HURTS

WHEN THE UNIVERSE --

MAKES ME FEEL SHAME

JUST TO HEAR MY NAME…

AND THOSE UGLY WORDS

FOR NO REASON AT ALL

BUT TO MAKE ME FEEL SMALL…

HEY, WHAT DO THEY KNOW

ABOUT ME AND MINE…

WHO I AM OR HOW I GROW

TO SUCCEED AND SHINE…

HOW DO THEY DARE DEFINE

MY LIFE AND ME? I PLAN TO BE

THE BEST THAT I CAN BE…

AND I AM O, SO PROUD TO STATE:

LOVE IS BETTER THEN HATE !

JUST WAIT AND SEE

YOU’LL NOTICE ME –

DESPITE THE BIGOT’S CLAIM

THAT IS MY AIM.
