Friendships of the Strong

Stop in the name of people like me

And others who have been blamed, accused, or teased

Stop in the name of people who are different

People unlike you or me

Stop in the name of people who have been rejected

People who are of different skin, religion, and thoughts

Stop in the name of people who have been accepted

People who changed their ways instead of facing a dark fate

Stop in the name of people who are fighting

Fighting for a cause, a purpose, a better place

Some of us extend a hand of friendship to everyone, including you

Friendships that are strong and true

Now, do you dare make fun of that?

The friendships of the strong, what do you think of that?
