In facts of birth, no one gets a say.
I should only judge you
for that which you do;
I'd much rather be we than be they.

An anthem for these times. (K)

As a woman I’m used to being judged on my appearance instead of my abilities… I try not to do that to others…
Exactly!
Reminds me of my schuttelreim:
Very to the point. Reminds me of the Kipling poem ‘We And They’. The prose can be found here : http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/documents/829/Rudyard%20Kipling.pdf
that is gorgeous! thank you for sharing, Rhonda.

Wonderfully penned and I agree!🙌 I’m curious though, why is ‘Just like you’ and ‘no’ in bold or is it meant to be read ‘no, Just like you’?😂
Thanks, Deepthy… I just bolded the words that I found myself emphasizing when I read it aloud…
