What's Your Life . . . What's Mine?

Why do we label people?
Good -- Bad
Straight -- Gay
White -- Black
As if people could only be one...
Good - Straight - White
-OR-
Bad - Gay - Black
People like Trayvon and Matthew
They did nothing right or wrong
They DID, however, die for what they WEREN'T
Trayvon Martin --wasn't white
Matthew Shepard --wasn't straight
They DID NOT fit in this . . .
Hetero-Normative and White-Normative "society".

If it anything more than this,
From which you view the world,
YOU ARE NOT LIVING

you are simply existing

Existing, is easy to do--
Go out and live . . .
