Conservative
You'd rather protect tradition
Than accept your children
The dead matter more, of course
Your kids should accept that
It's easier for you to enforce these rules
than changing for the better
'no kid of yours-'
The kid is yours, and they're already terrified
Of the hate you show them
Every time you open your mouth
To shame the people on TV
Your childrens people
you make yourself an enemy
They avoid telling you about crushes because
You think it's unnatural
They think they're unnatural
What do you think? Is hate more natural?
Is your kid crying themselves to sleep more natural?
Is them wishing themselves away more natural?
Is your kid being threatened by your fellow church goers
More natural?
'Pray the gay away',
Tell God you hate in His name,
Tell Him you drove your kid away
Tell Him you won't love your neighbour
Because you refuse to change
