A World That Has Changed

by shelb105

The world is not the same As it was long ago It has gone through great change And rightly so Technology has evolved And so has mankind Yet, some have resolved To stay left behind They shout from the back Hate words like "queer" You must take solace in the fact That one day, they'll disappear Hiding behind the Bible They spout their accusations But why believe such libel When religion has also gone through transformation So accept your sisters and brothers Because gay is not a crime And those who believe we should not love one another Will disappear in the sands of time

<p>Simple and poignant, beautiful poem. I like that this poem points out what is wrong, but has an overall feel that what is right will prevail.</p>
