It’s such a challenge
Every day Being straight In a world that’s gay Fired because You want to be you Marry your love And say “I do” Beaten and murdered Lives ripped apart Simply because You loved with your heart A man shouldn’t die For loving his wife Or be imprisoned For the rest of his life Love is love No matter with who Especially when You find love that’s true Wait, say what? I was mistaken? It’s gays not straights Who are forsaken. Oops, my bad I was smoking a joint. But maybe, just maybe I’ve made my point. https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/03/world/same-sex-laws-map-intl/index.html

The faithful are the ones
Who abolished civil rights The President confirmed it This really should suffice. From separating children And locking them in cages Ensuring inequality For women and their wages. For those who seek our help We’ll build a bigger wall And if you are a Muslim There’s no entering at all The Bible touts forgiveness And loving one another But also stoning children If they disrespect their mother I guess it all comes down To which verse they choose to cite To guide us and our principles As they abolish civil rights. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/02/07/trump-lauded-abolition-civil-rights-his-gaffe-did-not-go-unnoticed/?utm_term=.7c52cebb161e
