hypocrisy of society

by Antwan Fields - Aries

as i walked down the street and reflected on a life not worth living
to see an anger i have that really isn't giving
at the military, the boy scouts, and america over time
my anger runs on full speed and doesn't stop on a dime
my teeth grit with fury when i read the stories
and in kansas my rage has become gory
cause he was gay and went down, like a storm of hail
this boy's on his way to a maximum security jail
what kills me is that if he were a guy on a girl he'd be slapped on the back and congratulated
if it were the reverse her father's rage would become coagulated
and the horizons battle comes closer to home and my friends are caught
inside me the apprehension the fear and the anger are all coming together yet fraught
a tenuous situation that society worries about when they ring the bell
and hey, watch your step, its a long fall to hell
because its not right and its not okay
and we're all getting pissed off anyway
cause this is so tired its not even funny
like bears chasing female bruins for tastes of their honey
thumping bibles till they tear and fall apart
and all of us end up with fractured or broken hearts
i feel the pain begin inside of me
it will tear me apart, the hypocrisy of society.

Reason for writing:

    read any gay newspaper and you'll see what i'm talking about.
