discrimination – Brandon Ellrich, Writer/Author/Poet

Mouse Without Tale

This Blitz poem was inspired by the story of Matthew Shepard and anyone who is the subject of violence and discrimination.

Dear painted child, do not hide,Thy roots and innocence inside.Those that mock and shun thy birth,Cannot see thy priceless worth.Dear painted child, can they not see,Thy light inside, thy true beauty?Wilt they not deign to understand,Thy heritage of distant land?God made thee true–be free and wild,Be bold and proud, my painted child!Copyright © 2022 BrandonContinue reading “Painted Child”
