C18H10N2O4 (There Is No They)

She fights,
because they did
nothing wrong.
They is no one
because
'They' 
are 
not one 
person.
no action
that one person
does reflects the whole
group.
But there 
are biases.
And so,
instead of wearing
their skin proudly,
They are shot
down.
They are seen
as an enemy.
But they did not
do anyhing
wrong.
Becuase there
is no they.
They are not one.
They are individulas.
Don't group them together.
there
is
no
'They'.

    I love that you wrote out the chemical formula for melanin instead of writing it out. It is awesome. I love the piece as a whole. Great job!
