"Only human dignity and kindness will last"

Oligarchy of Inadequacy An oligarchy of inadequacy Is draining democracy from you and me Did fear contribute to these darkened days? Were voters really that afraid of gays? Some thought it was God's will but maybe not Some thought they remembered but they forgot If they ever learned what these scars we earned Really mean so they demean what they see As challenging what they think they believe They wish we would just shut up or else leave Yet that which is best for us for them worst Is that we who disagree were here first A family known as Humanity Bound by family honor to disagree With an oligarchy of inadequacy We ride an impatient world spinning very fast It has a very short attention span Only human dignity and kindness will last With dignity let us be as kind as we can A great many questions and the questions are great Changing times are challenging and the hour grows late +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

Good and light always seem to survive hate and oppression. Well said, Steven.

This may not be popular on AD, but it all revolves around a fierce movement in the U.S. - which is: Christian's trying to force Christianity onto the nation. I am so sick of it. Excellent poem Steven. ~ Sara

Well said, Steven, and right on target! The growing level of ignorance, willful or otherwise, in our comtemporary society, makes the erosion of true democracy possible. The oligarchy of inadequacy you speak of herein, feeds on it!
Peace,
Carolyn

You have captured this subject and clarified it for even the simplest homophobic and bigot can read and understand but I am afraid you can not oopen eyes that are blind my friend. Just write Steve.
