Gender Road

        Well I was born in the sixties
The decade of Peace and Love
I grew up in the seventies
There was KISS and God above

I’ve heard about The Stairway To Heaven
And about The Highway To Hell
I knew about the two Paths and that
Trouble could land me in Jail

No one ever taught me anything different
There’s Girls and Boys
I was told about the Devil
Of his deception and ploys

I stopped pretending at age nine or ten
It was Black and White with no Grey
I’m not trying to be funny but I didn’t
Even know about the Gay

I’ve always been kind and respectful so
Forgive me I can’t handle the new Inode
As I try to walk to the Stairway to Heaven
Don’t force me to Go down Gender Road
