What makes a Person?

What makes someone a woman?
Is it the way they dress?
Is it the way they talk?
Is it their moral values?
It is only their reproductive system.
Sometimes we cannot change what we were born with,
And sometimes we are born with what we do not want to change.

What makes someone gay?
Is it the way they dress?
Is it the way they talk?
Is it their moral values?
It is only their choice of who they love.
Sometimes we choose who we love,
And sometimes love chooses us.

What makes someone black?
Is it the way they dress?
Is it the way they talk?
Is it their moral values?
It is only their colour of skin.
Sometimes we cannot change what we were born with,
And sometimes we are born with what we do not want to change.

Why do people shun what they do not understand?
Or worse, what they do not try to understand?
If people would take the time to approach things with an open mind,
I believe this world would be a much better place.
