Welcome to Gaia! ::

The following is what I was inspired to write today while doing my homework. I got a chance to really think it over so that when I got a chance to write it down this evening, it was very easy to do so. I'm going to submit it to the Trillium when they call for pieces. The Trillium is the book put out every year by the college. It is a collection of poetry, short stories, and photos from members of the college community. This is the second piece I will be submitting this year. The first will be Artistry.

Tell Me What’s Wrong With This Picture

Come take a seat by me,
And we’ll watch the world go by.
I’ve something to ask of you.
Answer me honestly, truthfully.
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

See that couple over there, walking?
See how he holds her hand,
Whispers softly into her ear?
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

What about that couple sitting on the bench?
The one is stroking her girlfriend’s cheek,
Wiping away her tears, holding her close
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

Go a few feet to the left and see those two
See how he spins her around in his arms?
Did you know? He also loves men too.
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

Look over there, down the street
See the two men, a stroller between them?
One holds a rattle, the other tells a joke.
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

Take a look nearby, there by the gas station
She fills the tank while he orders food to go
No longer does she feel trapped in the wrong body.
Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

When we open our minds beyond narrow confines,
We see with an open heart and a true mind
Love is love- straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual
There is only kindness and love in all forms.
Nothing is wrong with any of those pictures.

Yes, but I was kinda going for that... I might change it before I submit it, but I dunno.
