fragile thoughts soon forgotten

for better or for worse

man to man they stand
defying standards we so
properly promote
locked hands raised
rejecting solitude,
embracing sameness
slowly side by side they die under the sterile stare of
the godly
the righteous
difference --
our demand
indifference --
our mantra
we mock we weep we pray against the demons,
we abhor
(mess-ups)
fail to see
the blood on our hands
mercy --
murdered

keith, i wrote this after reading about the government's decision on gay marriage... at first, my heart broke for every Christian who'd been fighting against it. then, i realized judgment against gays would only increase from the church after this, and my heart broke for the gays. and so i wrote this.
