One simple thing changes all the rules.
Rules set by government.
Rules set by society.
One simple thing makes us different.
They don’t listen to our explanations,
But its not like we owe them one anyway.
The one simple thing is who we love.
Whether it’s a man, woman, or transgender,
They just say its unnatural or not right.
Who we love is not our choice,
It’s destiny.
The commitment is the same,
Recognized by government or not.
I have one question for society, for the government. . . . . .
Why discriminate over something people have no control over?

i love this babe, like seriously, your so right, you cant help who your heart loves and the government cant tell us who and what we want.....props for the write, its amazing
-
I agree with justreadme..but other than that it's a really awesome write. I like your ideas and points. And I definitely agree!
-
Well I liked this. It was one of the only ones so far I've read that's about the government, and I'm assuming that that's reffering to the banning of gay marriage? Anywho, I liked this, good poem. Good luck in the contest!
-
I agree with the ideas. nice ideas. I jsut think that you still need to craft it into a poem, right now it seems to be more of the start of a debate about gay marrige. I hope I didn't offend you. I think you just need to take you ideas and make the wording more concise...
I am still working on this myself so don't think this is my way of saying that you are bad or I am better or anything like that, good luck

nice poem..i dont understand this govorenment of ours..
-
How true this is and is it not better to love than to hate, no matter who or what you are destined to love. A very valid point I think. well done. I like poetry that makes you think and this one certainly fits the bill
-
I really loved this hun because it is so true...we cannot help who we fall in love with and that is why I would never judge another person !!!
I also agree what you have said about the Government and there is nothing else I will add!!
Well written and a pleasure to read well done hun xx
