Do you know the cost
Hatred, discrimination
Rot society
Licensing vile factions
To spew ugly rhetoric
We hear this danger
From the pinnacle to base
Brothers and sisters
Singled out for their difference
Treated as misfits…pariahs
Leadership for all
A political promise
Faded at “I will”
We’re racing to the bottom
Tethered to an ignorant
Explain your blindness
Your willingness to sell out
Friends and family
On the words of a blowhard
Who we now call President
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Comradery of souls
Offered without pretense;
More could not be asked for
Making the cause all the more special.
Unity of purpose unites
Nailing hearts and minds to a common cross,
Instilling strength to carry on the fight.
Though hardship and hatred will try to stifle,
Yearning for understanding and equality can never be silenced.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Criminalizing
Through state-sanctioned prejudice
“Gay” is not a crime
~
A nation in regression
Will be ravaged from within
