Attacked for who they are – v2

The most vile abuse
in the school, the playground
at work, out in the world
nothing important, worthy
targeted because of their difference
attacked for who they are
just because of their color, their race
their sexual orientation
Judging others, setting boundaries
barriers for inclusion
just for who they are
