Hear Me Out 8/20/2005 4:27:28 PM
There are many things wrong with whats going on in this country. Lets not go into the war and loosing precious lives because of the ignorance that is running our country. Lets talk about something else that the ignorance of a country affects.The freedom for Gay people and the lack there of.
If we pay taxes, spend our hard earned money on business' and education, work our fingers to the bone until we are too old to do so any longer. Then we should have benefits and marriage as well. Not special right, just the SAME rights. Read on: I am not this way because you did something wrong,
It’s not because of hearing some strange song,
I’m not too young to know who and what I am,
There were no gangs to make me follow them.
You choose not to see the good in me,
My morals and standards are of quality.
I am educated, loyal and have the highest integrity,
Again these things you do not see.
If your God is in fact a God of love,
Then let him judge from up above.
I feel no shame, and hold my head up high,
I will be blessed to go to heaven when I die.
You see down here, the sinners are our fate,
Filled with prejudice, anger and too much hate.
What I am is neither a fad nor a choice I made,
Freedom and rights have been the price I have paid.
This poem I write isn’t just for one person to say,
It is for all the people in this country that are gay.
