The costs of bigotry

The costs of bigotry

The price of bigotry.

The boy confessed his love, though with some restrain,
He had lots of things to lose yet very little to gain.
He searched the eyes of the boy he wanted,
and only saw glaring eyes, as though he taunted.
The risk he took was not well spent,
the boy freaked out, and as it went,
rumors flew troughout the school,
and the first boy felt like a fool.
The taunting boy was a closet case,
would never admit his gayness face to face.
He sealed the faith of boy number one,
whose every hope for a social life was gone.
His parents found out, shocked and dismayed,
his mum was crying, his dad called upon faith.
The beatings increased, his will to live dwindled,
no force near him, could ever get it rekindled.
Boy number 1, a month after his plee,
was found hanging, from a neighbouring tree.
Good riddance said many, for faggots are sick,
from beating up poofs, they'd get a nice kick.
Boy number 2, tried to hide his guilt,
got married with children,seemed fulfilled.
Thus life never gives, what one might expect,
as long as sexuality is such an issue for a fact.
