Array ( [sid] => 39295 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Tolerance [time] => 2004-03-19 06:21:48 [hometext] => Sadly enough this is based on a true story, why do ppl have to be so cruel? Even gays have feelings [bodytext] => The final sketches for the plan were being laid,
Tomorrow the price for his abnormality will be paid,
For his foolish honesty in an unsupervised moment,
His life will be put into constant torment

“I’m gay” was revealed out of a game of truth or dare,
For acceptance he asked as he stripped his soul bare,
Disgusted looks and foul words was all he received,
They spit on him and left, how could he be so deceived!

Crying, dying and alone, one day he will be found,
Raped, battered beaten and unceremoniously bound,
These will be his departing words in his final speech,
“Tolerance is still something we have to teach”
