Acceptable Differences (Rap lyrics by V Swizzle)
Our world is non-binary.
We are not all unarmed
or all open carry.
We are not all left
or all right.
We are not all black
or all white.
This good world is worth
the good fight.
But we are not all wrong
or all right.
We are not all ones
or all zeros.
We are not all poor hoes
or rich heroes.
This isn’t either/or,
y’all know.
Sometime you pay,
sometimes you owe.
This world still spins around without you
and without me.
So how do we want to leave it,
OUR leg-a-cy?
A blue green sphere of hope
and humanity.
Or a smoldering orb of hate
and insanity.
Or some cool continuum of honesty
and equality.
That will take critical thinking
and actual humility.
Do not tell me how to feel
Do not tell me how to think
Just show me that you CARE
Enough to pull me back from the brink
And I will do the same.
Because this ain’t no silly game
It just cannot be
how it ‘sposed to end
This is real, dog, so walk beside me
and be my friend
The End
