A City's Survival
how everyone thrives in a couple of days
the world is doomed beyond belief
judging by the way things are it's hard to stop
that begs the question on what it is
a group of people fighting in the city
many of the young sick in hospital
homes not standing strong enough
others are alone on the street at night
finding empty bottles in hopes of getting cash
trying to avoid dirt filled water and the harsh cold weather
broken down buses riding downtown to get fixed
the street lights are not working right at all
only the next day everybody will come together to make things better

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
