And All they Know of Hate...

"And all they know of hate was that it couldn't beat the love out of me."

::sigh:: This poem...wow!

Andrea doesn't mention Don't Ask, Don't Tell. She doesn’t have to...this poem is about everything that is so much bigger than that.

Ashes

"When they bring their children to my funeral
to scream faggot at my dust
tell them I was born into their casket."
