Binary Hell
Erase the boxes
Remove the names and labels
It is so freeing
We are not as named
He, she, white, black, gay or not
We are so much more
Close eyes, open heart
To know the reality
The true heart of another
Pity the man who
Can not count higher than two
Binary prison
Or who claims I AM
I am this or I am that
Solidified hell
