All Due Respect

It’s 2019, for better or worse
I hear the talk, read all the news  
Watch parades, learn the proper terms  
  
People are more ‘woke’ than ever  
Society demands lack of judgement  
Everything is acceptable, it’s all good  
   
I watch from afar at the hypocrisy    
   
If a boy proclaims he’s gay  
Suddenly he wants all the boys.  
Post-game showers get strange  
   
If a girl announces she’s a lesbian  
She immediately wants all the girls  
It becomes a challenge to ‘turn her’  
   
If a person is bisexual, out and proud  
They are promiscuous and can’t decide  
Or that love-type simply doesn’t exist  
   
If a person identifies as transgender  
They are in defiance of God’s will for them  
That souls go where they are supposed to  
   
If a person is asexual  
Society says they are broken  
They just need to find the right one.  
   
Why are heterosexuals given a free pass?  
Straight men ogle any female in his line of sight  
Just showing off his privilege, rampant sexuality  
   
Or for the modern woman bringing home  
A new male for every night of the week  
Call her promiscuous and face a lawsuit  
   
Love is love, it’s free for all, it can’t be confined  
Why does something so pure need to be rationed  
   
How is it that in 2019, we so socially aware    
Dare to persecute, torture, take life away  
Simply because of who/what the heart longs for  
 
No one alive can be judge, jury, executioner  
Dictating who others need to identify as, to love.
