Some of you, I'm sure, will argue that I shouldn't do this because "little kids might read the fics". But you know what? That's EXACTLY WHY I've decided to do this. Because, you see, it is ignorance which is causing all the homophobia in North America. I've always thought that people should get their own opinions about that kind of stuff, rather than just follow what their parents or society say. And, really, what's the difference between straight and gay relationships? Besides the obvious, I mean. Either way, it's still love, right? And, is it a crime to love someone? I don't think so.
One more thing: If you're homophobic and have your own opinions about this, PLEASE don't review with whining and yelling and swearing. Instead, e-mail me ([email protected]). This is because I really don't like having my reviews cluttered by flamers. Besides, I admit, I am a tad bit heterophobic, but I don't go around preaching that straight relationships are "evil", do I?
Arigato-merci (translation: thank you in both Japanese and French) to everyone who has read this far, and to flamers who e-mail their flames rather than review with them. You really don't know how much I appreciate it. ^_^

Now, onto the poetry!!
"Is it a Crime?"
Their calls fall on deaf ears
For I will not listen to what they have to say.
It's just nonsense, it's just ignorance,
They don't know what they're talking about.
I walk these halls
And they laugh, they jeer...
Gods! Why won't they just let it go?
....besides, isn't that what they are against?
Is it a crime to be in love?
That's what I ask them.
But they don't see, they don't realize,
That they are just like you and I...
I know you go home when the day is over
And cry in your room with the shades down.
Don't deny it, don't shoot back,
You know I know the truth.
You see, your sister knows what goes on
And she tells me how much it hurts you.
Don't worry, Tai, we'll get through this together
'cause you know, true love isn't a one-sided thing.
They say we'll go to hell,
They say we'll scream and burn.
They say we'll pay for our "sins",
They say we'll never return.
But is it a crime to be in love?
If it is, then I'm guilty as charged.
But I won't let those idiots stand in the way
Of something greater than whatever they think is up above.
Black is black, white is white,
Wrong is wrong, right is right.
It's all even, dark or light...
Isn't there something in between?
They're just trapped in a paradox,
Being hypocrites though they don't realize it.
Don't listen to them,
They don't say anything worth hearing.
Come on, Tai, dry your tears.
They don't know what they're saying.
Love is love, no matter what label you slap on it,
And you will always be in my heart.
They say we'll go to hell,
They say we'll scream and burn.
They say we'll pay for our "sins",
They say we'll never return.
But is it a crime to be in love?
If it is, then I'm guilty as charged.
But I won't let those idiots stand in the way
Of something greater than whatever they think is up above.
