Buried deep in the Bible
a Psalm for the
twisted and gnarled
a Psalm
for those looked upon
fearfully
with persecuting glances
wonderfully made the
twisted and gnarled
smile rebelliously
in the face of strong limbed
pretty privilege
fearlessly believing
a Psalm
for those seeking the equity
struggling with acceptance
a chance to prove the
twisted and gnarled
are wonderfully made
