Mark Rivera Poems

A mother who loves her son
Wonders why he became this way
Her denial cries
That damn school made him gay
...

How I hate
When people chose not to vote
Like why did we have
The Civil Rights movement?
...

You pierce me with those conniving eyes
Make me feel at times that I should die
Makes me wonder why you saved my life
The malevolent man who hates me
...

I will always hold you near
Nomatter how far away
Through the pain and the tears
Our memories will never go astray
...
