Manifesto Pt. 11
I am so sick of cowards
The voluntarily retarded
Living in gated communities
Thinking their maid and their
gardener love them like family
I’m so sick of being stereotyped
Called horrible names
Sure that I hate that one
cause they do that with them
And this one ’cause of how they look
Only because of my sex, my age
And the color of my skin
How easy and convenient this cowardice
As the bullies stir the mob
I hear the shallow slogans
Roll my eyes as they call me names
I’m none of those things
Yet
So in this sand I’ve drawn a line
I have exactly as much respect for your religion
as you have for mine
I have exactly as much respect for your opinion
as you have for mine
I’ll show you exactly as much respect
as I see in your eyes
But that’s probably not true
Because I try to show everyone
what used to be common decency
But it appears the Club of Mutual Respect
Has a membership of only one

Claiming one self is a major step.
