"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." —George Bernard Shaw


There he lies,
in his shallow grave,
put there by others,
just for loving me.

There he lies,
no color present.
Only a hollow shell remains,
just for loving me.

There he lies,
killed by their ravenous hate.
They claimed he had sinned,
just for loving me.

Now they lie beside him,
their death sentence received.
It’s all an endless cycle
just for loving a man.

I love it.  I feel like I can relate, but I also feel like I don't know quite exactly what it's talking about.
