Poem

rest in peace?


they ordered him to kill 
several men
- and gave him several medals
when he decided
love another man
- gave him several stabs

Today, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Very well stated! The mesage is clear - a new set of rules is needed. Glorifying death and shunning love is hardly the way to deal with important issues.

The truth must be told, and this is the truth, for no one will be able to survive trial handled by hypocrisy, such is life. I'd rather die by my own hands than to be another victim of discrimination, for that I've been for too long.
