New Song: "Inclusion" (Patreon)

I could have written several more verses -- people with disabilities, indigenous, etc. Heh. Maybe I will.

When you visit Americay,

You’ll see the struggle every day,

Some think being different is a sin,

But most say “We’re alike -- so come on in!”

Inclusion, inclusion,

There’s nothing to fear --

All that it means is that

Everyone’s welcome here.

Men feel free to exploit, harass,

And treat the women as second-class.

Forgetting all of the women who

Discovered things -- and gave birth to you.

Inclusion, inclusion,

Accomplishments near and far,

Incels couldn’t rant

Without Hedy Lamarr.

Some think white folks are somehow pure,

And browns and blacks are inferior,

We’ve checked the genes, and it’s evident

The difference is one-tenth of one percent.

Inclusion, inclusion,

There’s just one human race,

How great would it be

If we’d all just embrace.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans,

They say don’t fit into their God’s plans,

But if God is perfect, and made them, too,

Well, a Biblical update is overdue.

Inclusion, inclusion,

There’s no mandate from above --

People feel how they feel

And they love who they love.

Haters fool themselves, think they can

Find someone to feel better than.

But compassion, love, and community

Will build a stronger society.

So bring your tired, your poor, your

Huddled masses yearning, you see,

Let there be no confusion...

We all need inclusion

So we all can *sniff ahhh* breathe free!
