The seed that you hold within you
The seed that you protect within you
Grows up to be a tall tree
Giving the people around shade
Fruits and flowers. Time may fell
The tree. But time also plants
More saplings to make the
Human race move forward.
But what if you are ignored,
Harassed, bruised and battered?
But what if you are discriminated
Against? You are ostracized for
Being what you are?
Will you survive? Will the society survive?
Right for you is the right for the
HUMAN RACE!
