TOLERANCE vs.ORLANDO

Those damned queers,
they're twisted, strange,
worse they're not like me.
So any time I can arrange
I keep them far from me.

And transgender? A bunch of freaks.
I keep my distance given the choice
from their stubbled made up cheeks
these manly "females" with deep voice.

Lesbians are competition
for straight guys like me
so despite the repetition
keep them far away from me

I prefer keeping company
with others who are much like me.
Where we all can piss and moan
and wish for how things used to be.

But having said what I just said
there's room enough for everyone
and when all is said and done
I'd really wish nobody dead.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
The varied and broken rhyme is meant to mirror the conflicting thoughts of the protagonist
Editing stage:

omg...I had to check too see if I was still in Huntsville!
about as red neck and inbred as any place
and racist etc as hell...
then...and I was native
and dressed weird...

I remember they had a guy that was female
well U know how it is...
all they bitched about was how he kept taking
time off the flooring plant feed
to do his nails

another pal of mine used to be the bait
in the other days..
before the issues
I always wondered why he wanted to
be that...
but..
great protaganist poem

Im waiting for the great virus to spread
like spanish flu..
or the nuke drops to start just happening
asteroids....
well have too see...
the...every man for himself
times..

sadly Im too poor to have a bunker
but it would have many good things
a good over and under
radio....
medic supplies
booze....sun powered
system recharge battery
for sound and music
DOORS music
and my hipster tunes
no Eve though
I can barely stand
living with myself
and Im past the age
for proper procreation

some island far away
like Robinson had
and his goats

in the meantime
just live in the
"paradise" we got
now...

great poem!!

thank U!

There are a lot of people, I think, who have the same attitude as displayed in this scribble. Time was that in America you could live as you pleased and not worry about lifestyle leading to death....sigh.....stupid Islamic radical try to ruin everything.........stan
