Poema antigo

Lembrei-me de que nunca tinha postado este poema aqui, embora o tenha colocado em vários lugares - é um poema um pouco contra binárias. Já tem mais de um ano:

Angles are straight.
Computers are binary.
r.cis(π) is a formula.
Nothing is arbitrary.

We're trapped on extremes.
We pretend it fits...
It's a logic that fails people,
only suited for machines.

People can belong to sides,
but we're not black and white.
Not everyone is groom and bride;
Gray-areas are a valid site.

Angles are straight.
People can be, too;
Still, if someone breaks the pattern,
treat them like you'd treat you.

Names and experiences
are not to be hidden,
are not to be chidden.
Stop being blind.

Being gray is not a sin;
Ignorance is, and it's
not arbitrary.
Start being kind

...with yourself.
