Polygamist Poem by Ramona Thompson

Please leave alone what you do not understand
Only one thing we seek out of life and that is peace
Live and let live
You must learn to accept and embrace that which is different from you
God's plan is for all creatures to live together as one in a perfect harmony
All that we ask is you allow our kind to teach you this most valuable of all his lessons
Misunderstand not
Insane and here to mislead the youth of the world we are not
Saints we have never claimed to ever be, yet nor are we the sinners that you claim for daring to love so openly
Tell us please as we extend our hands in an open welcome

From our society to yours
Can you?
Will you ever accept us as one of your own?
