I Don't Own This Rainbow

Facebook connects you to all sorts of interesting things and interesting people. Thanks to Leland Spencer I discovered this poetic statement written by one of his friends blythe beatrice.

Just because I am proud of me does not mean
That I said you could not be proud too.
I’m proud of something different than you.
Everyone is different and that makes me proud too.
I don’t own this rainbow
And neither do you,
But I’ll wear it to show that I know
We are all equal.
Call me a show off and say that I celebrate
Because I do, I show off equality
and I celebrate all that is true.
My truth is I’m just as moral as you.

Did I hear an "Amen"?
