Pulse

June 12, 2016, at a place to keep the beat of one
49 murdered and, at a place where we can be one
Hate crimes, late nights, terrorism all before sun
I could be so furious, but I'm so shocked that I'm just done

So why can't we love
Why can't we love
I say why can't we love
Why can't we love

Was a 29 year old, pledged allegiance to the State
Here just like the rest of US, I wonder what breeded the hate
We need love, I don't care, if you're gay, trans, bi or straight
Talked to God and he said love yourself as, you, do they

So why can't we love
Why can't we love
I say why can't we love
Why can't we love

The Woman's March was the state of the art
Like queer protest of the 70s arc
Social justice can progress in part
By not using such a demeaning word as queer, for a start

Nothing is wrong with you
Nothing is wrong with me
Nothing is wrong with us
So why can we love

So why can't we love
Why can't we love
I say why can't we love
Why can't we love

So why can't we love
Why can't we love
I say why can't we love
Why can't we love

We cry and we weep
This mountain's awful steep
To our world, with love, we give it a clean sweep
Equal rights foray: this is the game we play
In our fight and our plight to reverse global social decay
How can we expect, simply set hopes on the sex
When the problems are more than Bernie Deep?
How can we as a nation, hope to completely solve this equation
When there are so many other variables at play?
