To be
kind
enough

to
have
compassion

on
someone
is

to feel
moved
sorry


because
they are
sick

or have
experienced
misfortune.

Can you
tell me
what

misfortune
has
befallen

queer
people?


- this is a real question, even though it is not a real poem

why not try writing a real poem, one with thoughts and feelings, not
hate and spew. FWIW
