How dare you say that about him With your rage and disgust Say I must not think that such a creature as this deserves love The touch of those that care Who are you to say what form For and function this touch shall take and where your judgement ceases Who are you to state your idolatry is true Proclaim falsehood in those who's deity has a different face to yours Like You have the definitive verse The structure The nouns to describe something so complex As he craves this touch And so does he That this worship is wrong Who are you to frame love as such? Oh but you possess the zealotry And belief that all are entitled to your vulgarity When just the simple act of you holding me Or me holding space Still and fast, is just No more than one wishing one That no harm will come to you My friend, within these arms This is not more than a different path to the embodiment Of similar ideals that you seek to protect with your anger What's the sum of these actions These words They create such a schism A rift tween what you know of as love And those you believe do not deserve Those you consider abomination Base. Not understanding that collective savagery builds a gentle soul as much as creates a monster So tear them limb from limb in your closeted ignorance Wearing a mantel of charity but with blood on your hands How do you square that, and still feel you deserve to call yourself human. Look around Your fear does not serve you nor make you strong and true And never will While I still stand

Nothing ****** me off faster or more effectively than bullies
