Old fashion feelings
Playing tricks on the mind
A box full of darkness
And heart of sunshine
True methods of madness
Balancing cruel and kind
A princess without palace
And a few words that rhyme
A seed planted with promise
A weed willing to grow
Released from a subconscious
To be tossed to and fro
Scribbled on a canvas
Artwork on display
We’re no longer in Kansas
At least that’s what they say
So, come on Mr. scarecrow
Tells us what to do next
Somewhere over the rainbow
Or the next game of chess
Wherever the wind blows
You will choose what is best
If we relinquish control
And lock our hearts in our chests

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.

Wonderful piece. Well done, my friend.
Interesting and delicious content. Keep posting more
Nice take on a classic work. I liked the references to 'The Wizard of Oz.'
