Left
It’s a funny little word
Less popular then right but still respected
Not always the way
Punish, beaten and misunderstood
Destroyed and hidden
A secret people fought to keep.
Until it grew.
Numbers grew, understanding grew
Strength and tolerant grew
Welcome came.
Now all are welcome.
Little is known about it- the devils hand
Harder it is still, but danger is in the past.
