Take me down the crooked path

by The Sky is Falling   Nov 12, 2007


Fired hate biting at our heels
So many angered faces
Glaring at us in disgust
We are different
We are the same
Neither
They look at us like poison
Killing the minds of their children
We have many symbols
They have many names
Who are we?
We are the ones not afraid
to love whoever we want.
Who are we?
We are the few, who show their true colors.
Who are we?
We are the ones that fight for our rights.
Who are we?
We are gay.

    Starts out kind of general, feel more could be done to elaborate on the last line, seems sort of exploitive just leaving it hanging there for 'shock value', but, yeah, good job, over all

    i love these lines....it's very true. if no one told children "that is wrong, stay away from them" then no one would care would they? this is great. wonderful work.

    I liked the different ways of describing how you (we?) feel. It was really good imagery and brought across a point of view very strongly. The repetition and the rehetorical questions were well placed. Overall, excellent poem.
