what you going to say
because he is a latino
love isn't an option?
how can you say
because she is a woman
abortion is out of the question?
how can you say
because he is apprehensive
he doesn't deserve to protect himself
no way
he who pays taxes and works for America,
the land of the free,
can walk hand in hand down the alter
with the one he loves,
and marry someday
she who was raped and beaten
but made it out alive
can rid herself
of a broken memory.
he who has witnessed murder
in the hands of a gun
deserves the right to protect himself
with one.
what you
the government represents the people
by the people,
and for the people?
no way
