Twisted Tongue

The only weapon that becomes sharper with constant use is the tongue.

Painting

It's a Small world... but you still wouldn't want to paint it.

Exhibit A

Remember, you are not exhibit a. It is said of animals, "They're more scared of us than we are of them."

This applies as well to people... take it easy, enjoy yourself, you are not the center of attention.

seen

being unseen

then

being seen

what once was

impossible

becomes

possible

lift a hand to the sky

and thank life

for

bringing you joy

being broken

oh so broken

then

realizing it's a lie

and

you've been here the

whole time

it's a whole

new

way of living,

when you're free

even in the

dark

i can spread

rainbow paint

with the toes

of my tennis shoes

it's unseen

but

i can see

Ally

I see the hate all around me.

This hate, without any just cause.

"Hate the gays," they say,

As they hurl the word "gay" around,

Using it as an insult.

Along with other slurs,

Which I shall not name here.

It's in my face,

All the time, everyplace.

Me, I'm not gay.

I could just walk away.

Yet, I stand here,

Telling these hateful fools,

"No"

They question me,

They demand to know,

Am I a gay?

"No," I answer,

"But the people who you bully,

"Who you beat,

"Who's murder your hate fuels,

"As kindling fuels a pyre,

"The people you would have lined up against a wall,

"And shot without trial,

"That could be my brother,

"My sister,

"You would degrade them, strip of of their rights,

"For what?

"They are innocents!

"And if loving is a crime,

"Then we are all guilty,

"Whether we're gay or not!"

Lets all take a car ride

As we see the rainbows and the pride

What used to be riots of free rights

Have become parades and sparkly tights

There was only one place: Gay bars

No we are able to walk amongst the stars

So much to go over but so little words

Today we're able to be ourselves so get out your swords

LGBTQ community is surfing the world's tides

Love is Infinite

Love each other

should be taught

No ifs

No conditions

No buts

Just love each other

Man to Man

Woman to Woman

Each to the other

or together

just love

an infinite truth

What happens when you‘ve dabbled.

You once preached disgrace.

You’ve grown and embraced.

You‘ve lived and learned.

And you know that love is just that.
