Sorry, But You're Block

Food For Thought

Go ahead

And shun me

As it is

Your moral right.

But I have

Always been open

About my views

And myself.

Am sadden

No

I pity you

Better describes

My feelings towards you.

For your refusal

To become

An interlocutor

In the global debate.

Which is

Shaping our world.

Author's Note

I know, of a few people, who have blocked me, because of my gender and sexual orientation. This is my response to them. Hoping, maybe, they will realize that their hatred and fear are not worth it.

Small minds cannot always be expanded. It is easier for them to look the other way than have an open dialogue. It reminds me of how many did and some still do react to race, gender and ethnicity. I admire your ability to put your words down for the world to see. I had a wonderful friend who died years ago in a car accident, she was gay, I was straight and we were great friends. This reminded me that today would have been her birthday. Don't give up, your humanity glows brightly for all to see.

Thank you, very much, for your kind and supportive words. The past week marked a very bitter anniversary for me, with my mom and coming out for the closet, to her.

hatred and ignorance and fear are not so easy to change. When I think about where we were twenty years ago I am hopeful that we will see miracles in the future

I know this, all too well, Emily. Thank you, for review this poem.
