The Evolution of Intolerance:

With their cloaks of fear and ignorance wearing thin,
Those who stand against gay equality
Will soon stand before the world
As they stand before their God,
Wrapped only in the tattered cloth of bigotry.

Though less recognizable
Than the white sheets of another era,
The cloth still chafes;
Bleeding, infecting, and scarring
All who continue to wear it.
  

The Fading Tales of Heroes

World War II novels

With tattered covers

Worn out bindings

And faded pages

Are put up each night

But by day

You can find them

Out in the halls

Sitting on benches

Walking on pathways

I saw them last week

At the Old Soldier's Home

With their thin necks

Like bookmarks tucked

Into real life war stories
