Yes, of course we should not assume

But human nature seems otherwise

Preconceptions heavy in the air

Permeates the pores, heavy with images

From days past, carried over to the present

These are women, men, and those in between

A whole spectrum, a rainbow of colours

Myriad, encompassing so many

A variety, a conundrum

Against the norm, prejudices

Pioneers in a way

Blazing open a path

For others to follow

So many do it their way

Despite the odds

To stay true to themselves

Despite what happened

Despite what the future may bring

They are among us

They have made a choice

Rejoice

It is a celebration

The multi-faceted man
