We
by Melanie Anne Phillips
We are gay and bi and straight
and thin and fat and overweight
and sad and proud and smart and dumb:
with many faces do we come.
There is not "them"
there is no "us"
Minus is not worse than plus.
Fences are a call to plunder;
Rainbows can't be cast asunder.
Gender, skin, and Faith and Creed
are how we laugh, and love, and breed
. We are fit and sick in bed,
and we are hobbled, unborn, dead.
For death seeks uniformity
but life springs from diversity.
So mix and match and all be free,
as I am "you" and you are "we".
