An Example from the Past

Let them hate us,
Let them ignore us,
Let them get angry,
Let them resist our insistence.

If they knew for sure
That we were wrong,
That we are unnatural,
That we didn’t deserve equality,

They would sigh at us,
They would brush us off,
And smile at their superiority,
Like you’d smile at a silly dream.

But they wouldn’t hate us,
And they wouldn’t fight us,
And they wouldn’t argue with us,
They wouldn’t be angry.

So, please, be angry.
For my rights, get angry.
Because when they get angry,
We become real.
