Please Don't Call Me Queer.

poem by: Megan Lawrence
Written on Sep 04, 2014 

Take a moment to stop and breath,
Look around and what do you see?
Busy people running here and there,
Most without a real care.
Those with money and fame move ahead,
Whilst the rest of us are left for dead,
Everyone wants to be the same, 
But in the end there’s only pain.
We should look ahead and not look back,
But tolerance is something we all lack.
Homo, Hetro, Trans and Bi
The term “faggot” is a horrible lie.
It’s not a phobia or a fear,
And by no means are we queer.
A new century will dawn us soon
And our children will still live in fear.
Homo, Hetro, Trans and Bi
Please don’t call us queer.
