She sat in the middle of a bunch of loudmouths
Drinking their various ales and wines,
They were dressed in some truly awful costumes
Most faces were made up, there were few masks
It was Halloween, a festive time, lots of horrible pick- up lines
Someone in the corner was laughing in a truly annoying way
She tried to engage a few of them, but they ignored her
They were all trying to look like they were having a terrific time.
Watching these strangers in a pub try to hook up and communicate,
Used to be entertaining for her, but for some reason,
tonight, she felt lonelier than she had ever felt
Maybe because it was another ill spent Halloween

As Followers they move
too nervous, too calm
As Loudmouths they rule
too angry, too calm
As Tricksters they fool
too awkward, too calm
As Imposters they countermove
too erratic, too calm

Years ago a marriage couldn’t
Join two different races.
Still some people hate
What that legality embraces.
Now today, the fight goes on
With gays who want to wed.
Those with hatred in their hearts
Protest these laws instead.
Why anybody cares what others do
Remains a mystery;
But loudmouths love to spew their wrath,
With precedents in history.
Today we’ve learned our president
Has made a risky move,
Endorsing same-sex marriage,
Which so many won’t approve.
I heartily applaud him
And I’m glad he took a stand.
Perhaps this huge announcement
Means that change is close at hand.
For those who argue natural law
Should not let gays unite,
They have to face that fact, to most
This is a human right.
A same-sex couple in your midst
Will not pose any threat;
And if you choose ignoring them,
They wouldn’t mind, I’d bet.
So kudos to Obama
For his brave and bold decision.
Equality is closer now
To what we can envision.
