Poem

The religious zealots,
 say they will pray for us,
   They look down their nose
 at us with disgust.

   They say repent;
 they claim we are an abomination,
   We are headed straight for
 hell, fire and damnation.

   They scream we offend them
 and their religion,
    It is none of their business;
 not their decision.

   Eighty percent of churches
 condemn homosexuality,
   They explain it’s a sin
 and say it is an abnormality.
 
   Gays are four times more likely to be
 alcoholics, addicts and attempt suicide,
    From day one most of us feel
 we have been crucified.

   Everything is cool as long
 as you don't get caught,
   If exposed,
 they strike while the iron is hot.

   From the very beginning
 we have been ostracized,
   The very essence of our
 being they criticize.

   Religion and queers
 are always conflicting,
   Their words and actions
 always contradicting.

   I know I have always
 stayed away from finding God,
   I was told I would
 face the firing squad.

   This always stayed
 in my heart and head,
   Being a homo;
 people want you dead.

   You can always feel
 their eyes watching you,
   If they catch you alone;
 they beat you black and blue.

   All this negative input
 you cannot help but internalize,
   I use to think to myself;
 why am I being depersonalized.

   Let me close this up by saying
 it is much better than it used to be,
   If I had a choice;
 I would rather it be you than me…
