Is your faith worth a life

Belief in death

Religious war

Knocks at the door

Does your prophet ask you to kill

To mark and to maim

To fill others with shame

All for your god

What's his name?

Does your ideology destroy

Your sect seek to shatter

To make you believe

Another's life doesn't matter

Intolerance

Ingrained

I'm tired of the hate

That religion inflates

The wars and the killing

The darkness inside swelling

The innocent caught

Trapped

In-between

Two fanatical screams

Put down your weapons

Let's go of the animosity

Please change your beliefs

Stop the atrocities

Donald Trump: FOSSIL WAR CLIMATE CRIMINAL

I have heard multiple times (just today) about how upset people are about pride parades and pride month. Asking “why don’t straights get a parade and such?” I tend to stay out of these things because I do not like adding fuel to the fire. However, there is pride month because so many LGBT+ people risk their entire lives to be who we are. People of our community have been beat and murdered, are still beaten and killed, over who we love in this world. We are told that our brothers and sisters who were born in the wrong bodies are abominations and that they are ill. We are told we will be burned alive for our “sins.” We fight to try to be who we are and to do what makes us happy. It saddens me that we get food thrown at us if we are just holding hands with our significant other, that we have to hide our relationships while a “normal” couple can sit and kiss in the park. 

I am not saying all treat our community this way. Imagine if things were reversed. What if we were the normal and the roles were reversed? What if two people of the opposite sex got yelled at and had a book thrown at them their entire lives? It does not make it any better but that is the way we have to look at it. 

In the end, what we do is between us and whatever the end is. Let us be people. Let us just live our lives. I know some try to shove it down others throats and that is not right by either side. We all just need to respect one another and let life go on. If it is not hurting you, hurting others, or hurting the person doing it, why does it matter what is happening. 

Close your eyes

Imagine a better place

Where the grass is greener

And the sea is still sparkling blue

Where there is laughter instead of sorrows

Where the light of the sun brings hope

And there, my child, you may rest upon

Find peace that this world could not offer

Shut your ears from the noise outside

The turmoil will pass and the fights will end

Sleep well, my little darling

For you're safe in my arms

I will be your shining star

At this time of darkness

But don't lose hope

The morning is yet to come
