Acceptance*
If we can't accept others
how can we accept ourselves?
Just because someone is *different
means that we can't let them into our lives
our churches
our communities
our heavens
our society.
As an individaul
they made a choice to be who they really are!
To show their true personalities,
To show their true being.
And as a society we have shunned them.
Oh sure, they say, you can show your true colors
as long as
you fit that specific mold
that has been created over the centuries
by war
by hatred
by the unwillingness of people
the incapibility of a society
to love
to accept
EVERYONE
for what
and
for who
they
   really
       are.
