The majority in times past 

Would’ve been proud to say 

That they knew how to keep them 

“in their place.” 

Now the majority of once-thems 

Seem a little too proud to say 

That they wish to keep another set of them 

In a “different” kind of place--- 

(only in this case 

they call it 

“the closet.”) 

But is that not 

still 

a 

“place?” 

Maybe it’s not 

EXACTLY 

The same… 

But it’s still 

Being expected to live a lie 

(er, life) 

of second-class content with the quo 

to appease the delicate sensibilities and “traditions” 

of “normal” folk. 

Still, 

As Emmett and Matthew might have warned all today, 

It’s a painful, 

Potentially tragic oppression 

Just 

(…well…) 

…the same.
