My Two Sons

My flesh and blood
refused to follow me
refused the notion of the flood
fought for right, not for me

Duty served
country proud
Now we two sons confess
we have transitioned to the dress

Father hid all the witnesses
to the truth of his two creations
from the watchtower he decried
the beauty, compassion and love

all he derides

Profound poem, Arthur! Seems tolerance is a bane emotion. Heavy free-thinking poetry. Muse ink worthy. Love and peace always.

Compelling poem, Arthur. Attitude towards gays are changing, but we still have a way to go. Best wishes, Carolyn

Gender differences is created by us human beings...if a girl can dress and work like a man means it's in her...and it's natural...so why can a boy adopt the same. It's all in our eyes and mind. We were born naked...the rest are our doings...thanks for sharing. Regs Sunita
