I wrote this piece to show that it is ridiculous for others to judge based on a choice that doesn’t affect them. This relates to Generation F because we as a generation represent a future that should be free of judgment.
We as a human species are beautiful
All full of life and color
Handcrafted with the most precise decorations
It’s wonderful to be a part of something so great
So intelligent
And yet
When two men are seen holding hands
It is looked down upon
When two women show affection to each other
It is ‘disgusting’
It’s shameful to witness people today act so foolish
When we die
We become nothing but bones
Or ashes
We cannot look into a dead corpse
Or in a jar of ashes
And know whether that being was an alcoholic Mother
Doctor
Gay
Transgender
What does it matter what someone else’s passion is?
A gay man
Would not be able to serve his country
Until 2011
A transgender man
would face the same problem
Until this year, 2018.*
Why is it a punishment to love someone because others do not find it normal?
We are such a unique species
Developed from nothing
And will go back to nothing
We are not robots designed to follow a code and perform what we are told
We are our own creatures who have a mind to pick
And choose
