&lt;0 loveAfPuroelf
Skylar Rowyn Cooper
My eyes are caught, distracting from her words,
By shimmering of wallpaper floral
Our eyes connect, my smile vanishes
As she utters about deceptive views.
My tongue then freezes, heart pounding too loud
As she preaches of obstructed false truths.
Biting my lip, knowing it is unwise
Attempting to correct such blatant lies.
Poison begins to corrode heart and soul.
Masking welled tears, fidgeting unseen.
For as all of the old sayings describe.
Pointless to teach an old dog empathy

No matter where I turn I can’t escape
The crimson signs with messages of hate.
Hearing the cries of my brother so dear,
Unable to consent to live and serve
And slowly witnessing horrors unheard
Of sisters doomed once expelled from their womb.
Financial bliss is what we hear them cite
Excusing “jokes” to hang us all on sight.
Even the love given to me from birth
Cannot persuade enlightenment of harm.
My brother hesitant to live his truth
When being him results in early tombs;
Whether by cruelty or “conscious freedoms”
The rights of disdain held above our lives.
My wife consoles my useless, empty womb
With children left dissolving in empty rooms,
Where “unnatural” leads to “boarding schools,”
Or never being picked for fostering.

�To LoveAmtber, To Lovt Tourutf

We want nothing more than to give love,
But together seen as “unqualified.”
Those advocating for lives of unborn
Refuse us to give the same ones a home.
The One seen as the maker of the rules
Condones signs banning us from entering.
Why would a love cause for such induced hate?
Reduced to vermin, no longer humans.
