Disengagement
____________________________
____________________________

Meeting wherever they could
They had to hide away
Just to make love

It was the fifties
Being queer was considered
An illness.   .   .not today

Funny though, animals do it
Is there something wrong
With them-

Perhaps it is God's way
Of keeping the populate
Down-
