Victim And Predator

To young for love, they dismissed what we had
Those who had our back turned from friend to foe
Treated us as if we made world evil, bad
Treated as a scandal in the down low

Families had a block on evolving
Praying for them to pass, such a nuisance
They do not see the pain they are causing
They do not regard us as proper humans

Guardians who supported, now fill with shame
Change now or God will not take you above
Why is it a crime that he is the same
Why is it that something private decides love
Same love lets us to have this connection
Nothing will stop our same love affection
