Immature poets imitate: Mature poets steal; Real poets create - Harley Strazzarino


Those who are in the IN crowd are the same
Those who are the same have the same identity.
Those who are different have identification.

But even those in the IN crowd have differences

And if those differences are exposed the person is rejected.
And when they are rejected.

They come to us.

The different.
The ones with the difference that make us separate than the rest.
The differences that make us united.

We are not one of many but we are many of one.
We talk, we act, we speak, we dress differently.
We do not “fit” in, so we create our own IN crowd.

No matter the difference.
No matter the sexual preference.
No matter the past, present, or the future.
No matter the fashion or lack of coordination.
No matter the difference you are accepted.

There is no reason to hate.
There is no reason to discriminate.
There is no reason to throw someone down because they are not like you.

We are a country of differences.

So

Stop with the discrimination.
Stop with the hatred.
Stop with hurting.
Stop with the pain.

Start with the helping
Start with the healing
Start with the caring
Start with the love
