Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Imagine

image source
Imagine your child
The teasing he'd hear
Attacked and harassed
Taunts of "faggot" and "queer"

The teachers all know
but they'd just turn away
They'd say it's a problem
that he acts so gay

Imagine your daughter
won't wear a dress
short hair and no make-up
Is her beauty worth less?

Her choices are different
Which many don't like
Because they feel threatened
they call her a dyke

Imagine being hated
rejected, reviled
Would you still accept it
if this were your child?
