Romeo loved Juliet,
And Juliet loved Romeo,
If Romeo loved Mercutio,
And Juliet loved the nurse,
I am not talking about family love,
But a love like none on earth,
The love between two people,
Fighting all odds,
A love as bright as the sun,
That will show you through the darkest of days,
If this were how the story goes,
Would people still have read it?
Or would it be an outcast?
A bad book,
For show the love of two people,
Of different genders.
What if Harry Potter loved Ron?
How many people would read it then?
Everything around us,
So it seems,
Is all based on heterosexuality.
Is that why it seems,
Most are homophobic?
Because they grow up around,
One man and one woman,
Through everything they do.
So now I ask you,
If these fine pieces of work were to change,
Would you read them??
