Elizabeth - I Will Defend


I will defend!
I will stand up for the gleeks, the nerds, the hipsters, and the rahtards
I will love all
I will defend the floral wearing tree huggers, the flower children, and the lilies of the Nile
I will defend the people who are made fun of for liking cats
I will defend!
I will hug the sad, the lonely, and the huggable
I will stand up for the fallen
I will defend!

Elizabeth, age 16
