[bodytext] => Man stood before the Acceptance Commitee And ignorance ensured he had no voice. No beliefs, no opinions, no rights. Judgement perused his appearance and loudly Declared that the clothing he wore was not the Same as theirs, so stripped him of his identity. Man stood shivering and exposed Intolerance declared that Man’s hair was not An acceptable colour so shaved the crowning Glory given to him by Nature, leaving man in The company of Miss Understanding. Quirkiness and individuality were not on the committee So they removed his large misshapen nose and Realised he didn’t see the world in the same way as they Did, so left large empty sockets. Man wouldn’t listen to their speeches of hatred and division So they left him in a world of silence. His skin was the wrong colour so they stripped him of Nature’s Protection and left him to bleed. His sexuality was unacceptable so they drained him of his hormones And cut out his heart. His kidneys removed defiled with sharing the same cup as those who do not walk the same way. His liver full of the poisons from sharing the food of those who do not talk the same way. His lungs blackened from breathing the same air as the rest of mankind removed because? They couldn’t stop his thoughts! And there lay the remnants of Humanity too late for tolerance to put back The pieces.
