Emily Bradshaw

Pink & Blue

Protect our children. Through marches you stroll

In hopes the youth will embrace the places 

God placed them. You scream slurs in the faces

Of children claiming love is in your soul.

With love you hate them, beat them, murder them

Until the only part left is the shell

Of the person who made their life a hell

That they can’t bring themself to return from. 

You will not force these once innocent youth

To end their lives for the chance to live with 

An outside image matching their brave soul.

We will have marches of our own. The truth

Is that your tale of normal is a myth

And we have the faith you believed you stole.
