I'Ll Take the Masses

Reasons for millions of orphans: war, sickness,  poverty, natural disasters, and abandonment are among some of the leading causes.
So you want to know what its like to be a gay man longing to be a gay father 
We are the damaged goods left behind 
The last pick from the collection
Yet fine picking comes at a cost
Give me the masses
the girl displaced from a natural disaster 
ill take her
the boy abandoned at the fire station 
ill take him 
the children homeless foodless loveless 
ill take them 
To the 140 million orphan children in our world
Ill take the masses
just let me care for one of them 
just let me be a dad
i just want to be a dad 
why Can't I be a dad?
I know i'll make a great dad.
