DoTR: Building Hope (November 19, 2019)

Emotionally

We gather

On November 20th

Day of Transgender Remembrance.

Through the darkness

Candles are lit

Naming our murdered

Brothers and sisters.

Wanting

But realistically knowing

The killings won't stop

Until society's attitude changes.

Treating everyone

With respect and dignity.

Regardless

Of gender identification

And ethnicity.

Call me

A delusional dreamer

For believing this.

In leaving ignorance

And prejudices behind.
