Nine Lives
She lived nine lives.
Born a small white girl,
Her skin was a lovely, soft pearl
She was raised in a gated community
And knew nothing of the world's lack of unity
Born a tall black lady
Faced what many called injustice daily
Bitter was her face full of resentment
Not satisfied with always acting the defendant
Born in a male body
Unable to stand the costume guady
Transformed her appearance for life
And changed to a different kind of strife
Born with a heart of fire
Went to war and fell to bullets haywire
She moves with wheels now
And her supporters only disavow
Born without sexual attraction
Can only be seen as an infraction
To the society based on physical love
She is desperate to find the end of
Born unable to hear
Does not need to listen to see every sneer
Her hands move at a pace
That could have been a language for the whole human race
Born with the weath of the gods
But with a family at odds
Her head is in turmoil
Those who see simply recoil
Born with unorthodox attraction
They see her and have horrid reaction
She loved another female
Now hers & hers bodies lie stale
Born as a human
To a race destined to ruin
See a world drenched in a bloody hue
What are we going to do?
