Bigoted views corrupt our youth,
Religion is shoved down our throats,
a calming solution, gospel truth,
children are forced to cope,
growing brains washed with soap.

Parents are raised one way,
‘gay interferes with the lord’s day,’
they poison their own children,
tricked into not accepting another person,
Regardless, the world continues to worsen.

Children wake up everyday ready to face the day,
crash into reality,
teased in every way,
changed into a different mentality,
by those who chose brutality.

Those developing people,
cannot love who they want,
climbing that steep hill,
pushed down by taunts,
left for dead with a permanent scar,
afraid to be who they are.

Betrayed by those they trusted,
deconstructed.

Those kids grow up,
they always do,
but are anything but accepted,
they breakthrough,
resurrected,
banished from their own homes,
subjected to hatred,
Alone.
Corrupted whispers,
homosexuals interfere with scripture,
not considering they are people,
they take actions,
anything but peaceful,
based on a person’s attraction,
lethal.

Those children forget,
they aren’t the ones engorged with regret,
parent’s lose their kids,
remaining is only a silhouette,
of the person they let slip,
Fall, through their fingertips.

Those rainbow flags cheer,
if you're queer,
you're here.

Free at last,
regardless of their past,
reminded that it shaped their present,
no longer threatened,
by the hatred that was manifested,
accepted.
