Said the gay man 
to the straight man
can we not just be friends

Said the straight man 
to the gay man
take hold of my hand 

We'll never make it
with this hatred
let us make amends 

It's not too late to
say I love you 
after all aren't we all kin

Being the family of man
I'm sure we can
live and all let live

Said the straight man
and the gay man
let's bring hatred to an end


Though we all have our different life styles and opinions can't we respect each other enough as human beings to get along? I chose this subject for the rhyme but this goes for race, religion, and anything else you can think of. We need more love.
