Pluto (a short subject)

The following is a short subject I wrote many years ago, not long after the announcement concerning Pluto’s diminished status in our solar system…

PLUTO

by John L. Harmon

 

This is for the underdog...
dejected
You were discouraged from the start
Doubts surrounded the nature of your existence

 

This is for the misfits... 
rejected
You were made to feel inadequate
You were told you did not fit in

 

This is for the ones who dare to be different... 
ejected
You were removed, banned from the rest
Demoted in hopes to erase a so-called mistake

 

This is for the human race because we have done...and are doing...and will continue to do this to people deemed unworthy of humanity...
