People are people,
And they have choices,
Yes we all have our own,
That's just how it is.
I disagree with many things,
That is my opinion.
Abortion is wrong,
So is homosexuality.
But it's not my life to live,
So if you wish to be gay then,
The power is yours.
I won't treat you differently,
For your choice because it's not mine to make.
What you believe is what you believe,
Don't let others discourage you.
I disagree but you can agree,
We are all people,
And I can respect you for your choice.
Author notes
I am against homosexuality.
I will not bash it, I will not hate you for it.
It's my choice to be against it.
If you are for it,
Then more power to yo.

written poorly
if you have a message write it. don't just circle around the issue. why don't you agree with it? the lines "I disagree with many things,
That is my opinion.
Abortion is wrong,
So is homosexuality.
But it's not my life to live,
So if you wish to be gay then,
The power is yours"
is just a statement with no feeling. When i write about being gay, i put feeling and emphasis into it. I'm not bashing you for your opinion, i think it's great you can voice what you believe in,but poetry is about emotion. use metaphors, anectotal pieces. The word choice is off too(so, but,so...) I have that exact same problem It helps to go back and erase unesscary words. This poem has great potential, just be more boisterous. Make a statement your own. Just try to sound more enthused about what this. The line " The power is yours" has a large amount of potential. Use that line to your advantage. Good luck, mElissa -
Aww. I like it!
Sorry it has been forever since we've talked. = (
How have you been? -
I totally agree with you! Finally, another write who thinks homosexuality is wrong! (I maybe started on the wrong foot with some people, but this is what I was getting at. I also wanted to try to sway those uncertain with the issue to see a WELS Lutheran's side.) Great write!

I think that this proves that there are actually people in this world who can be against something but not go around trying to bash others for their own beliefs. Excellent write. Good luck to you.

I respect you, honestly.
You might not be for it but at least you know how to respect people and you understand that it isn't right to be against them.
Nice message. <3 -

Well, I've been there... I was 'Not straight' at one time and I enjoyed living that way but in the end I found out it's not for me. Something I stand for say its 'wrong' so I tend to lean that way but to me, I have a lot of great nice gay friends and I am not going to stop being there friend just because of my different opinion Glad you like it.

This is well written. You state your point and your opinion without being overbearing. Bravo for not judging others for picking a different path than you would walk yourself!

I'd never judge someone or be rotten to them just because their views are different. If I was that way... I wouldn't have any friends lol! Thanks for the comment.
