Gypsy

(from "Panes of the Heart," 2009)

She cannot be bound

By society’s rules/

She loves herself

And life

A little too much/

She will not tolerate

Ignorance

And stupidity

She has to dismiss

It all/

She abhors

Intolerance

And hatred

Against her kind/

In fact,

She does not understand

Why she is not worshipped/

When you see her

You know she has

Divinity in her/
