“If we are to achieve a richer culture, we must weave one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.” Margaret Meade
They were real
devoted,
oblivious and in love,
they knew they were broken,
only others imprisoned them
in shackles of judgement
devised in their own
shallow minds and
jealous of their freedom
to simply be
more human than they.

I love the quote you shared. What you said in your poem is true. “only others imprisoned them in shackles of judgement devised in their own shallow minds”

Yes, the world can’t be comfortable in its own skin, it has to build false worlds.

This is lovely. The next time I host an Inclusion challenge on KindSpring you are invited. =) Your poem speaks to the soul of it. Labels are lies but ones we are developed over eons to get fast information in seconds about new people. Those old labels were meant to teach us quickly “safe” or “not safe.” Today’s 21st Century labels are endless and, for the most part, teach us nothing but how to put up walls. My 2c. =) ♥.
