Innocent homeless youth cries a tear
He only loved, now others fear
Hated, disowned for being born queer

Born with a heart that was much bigger
They burnt a cross, called him a nigger
Neighbors smiled as they pulled his trigger

Mother taken from family, told what to do
Deadly gas filled the air she had no clue
Instantly killed for being a Jew

Kidnapped child sent to residential school
No native ways was the enforced rule
Spoke for his rights, got abused, treated cruel

From his birth he was a discard
People passing remarked retard
As if his life wasn’t hard

Although his brain was far beyond able
No one believed for his legs weren’t stable
He lived his life with a handicapped label

A caring doctor the young girl desired to seek
But she was told an immigrant’s future is bleak
For the proper language she ‘couldn’t’ speak

Stop that disgusting discrimination
It is not acceptable in our nation
Let’s make that clear through our generation

Our differences we should be proud to embrace
Through our mind, sexuality, religion, and race
Help make our world an equitable place
