1963

"I don't have a flag,

I don't have a country."

Those were the words of a 16 year old colored boy

Getting sprayed down with a water hose

Am I really from here?

I guess

I suppose

The color of my skin

Black

The color of the man

White

In 1963, what was in our minds?

What was right?

Right is equality

Not segregation

We should all love one another

This is one nation

Under God

We shall not badger the love

Between an interracial couple

They don't deserve it

We shall not make them

Relive the struggle

We overcame that

We finally won

Hallelujah

August 28, 1963

But today, now

What have we become?

"I don't have a flag,

I don't have a country."

These are the words of a 16 year old gay boy

We didn't overcome

We thought we learned something

But history's just repeating itself

We learned nothing

God said love everyone as you love yourself. What if they're gay? So what? They're still a person with feelings. Even if you don't support gay rights or still for some stupid reason think black people and white people should be segregated, that doesn't give you the right to bash them. Respect them as a person. Treat people they way they deserve by their actions; not by the color of their skin or their sexual preference.
