Male, female, trans or intersex…
by Mimi Miyagi (2014)
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
Most people too often will turn their backs,
And do nothing to try to stop these attacks.
When violence is committed against another
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
Every day is a struggle to just stay alive.
And the thought of all of this is too chilling,
As the human race, we’re just trying to survive
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
Hatred is blinding and they aren’t seeing
Why should it matter what gender you prefer to kiss?
There’s no reason to cause harm to another being
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
Too many people don’t want to understand
But someone being different isn’t always the cause
Some will attack others even without any flaws
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
Wouldn’t all violence be considered a hate crime?
Many close their mouths and become mute like walls
Something’s going on… This thing is all wrong.
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
And even if the person that left us is gone
They will always be known for the things that they did wrong
How can being who you are be so wrong?
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
We undermine these misconstrued minds
And hold vigils hoping we can go back in time
I cannot promise that your heart will be at ease after today…
Male, female, trans or intersex…
Forget the physical and focus on my soul
If God is the ultimate good, why do cold blooded men rape and kill our sisters?
If God is real, I write for him to answer
There’s only so much I can do with my human powers
