We the people

Are supposed to be free

To have unalienable rights

The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

But since when those who are different from us excluded?

Those who love the same sex

Those who believe they are not one gender, but another

They are people, like you and me

Why do we punish them?

Throw harsh words upon their ears to hear

For that is not the tue meaning of equality

As equality means that we are all free

But we choose to bind those who are challenged with uniqueness

Those who are not free from the high powers of society

But I wish to set them free

For they are the people

The people for me
