Your Right to Live
By Gavin Bourke
Difference,

individuality,
distinctiveness,
is not peculiar,
not deviance,
or psychiatric illness.
Or a disorder,
to be cured,
through,
aversion therapies,
or by negative behaviour,
towards.
No two, living beings,
are entirely identical,
irrespective of genetic codes.
The darkest of times,
gradually passing on,
from the unpunished,
capital crimes,
of needless, internalised shame.
Often resulting,
in slow and fast, suicides,
for the sanctity,
of human uniqueness.
