Verse-First Omniscience

The air moves quickly
places to go, people to see.
People yawning, smiling and screaming.

"I am right"
"no me"
I watch
confused at what they mean.

She says she knows best,
but so does he.
He, she, they, them.
I look on as the answers fill my head.

I know...oh how I know.
I know what is important.
What doesn't matter.

All I need is food, clothes, shelter and love.
What more is to know?
What more than love?

I can see it,
clear as day
and I was born
just yesterday.

The Cycle

I woke up today
Told Mom that I was gay
Told Dad that I was done
trying to hide away.

The both looked down, saying it's ok
that when we go to church, the pastor will know what to say.
I think to myself that maybe, maybe it'll change
but this just shows that it won't be today.

The world sees you as you should be
without regard or thought for your sanity
and whether you like, you love or you hate
it's just the way the world was made.

Made by those who saw a better way
but a way that was good
and was only good if it was their way
through the power that they craved
by telling you
that this is how you should behave.

Follow the greater good
for the greater crowd
while the minority remain misunderstood.
and misunderstood is what we know
and what we are and how we have grown.

We only like what we know and dislike what we don't
and when time goes on
those that were misunderstood today become known
and the unknown is replaced.

Replaced by something else to hate
and those who were become lost in the tide of hate.
Forgot that they were in the same life but they seemed to have closed the gate.
Left the new class out in the cold to take their place...to bear the storm and wait.
