It Should Not Be

  • They say it should not be
    A Person like her with a person like me
    just hanging around having a drink
    without something more happenings
    she sits beside me at the bar
    smoking cigarettes and drinking beer
    we laugh at those who don’t understand
    we laugh at those who point and stare

    They say that something’s never change
    even those who preach equality
    never want to believe
    when they see us hanging around that
    nothing else is going down

    A friend of a friend came up to me
    speaking angrily about how it should not be
    making assumptions about what we are
    just because it is something they could never be
    TV and movies say it should not be
    a person like her with a person like me
    just hanging around having a drink
    without something more happening

    They say that something’s never change
    even those who preach equality
    never want to believe
    when they see us hanging around that
    nothing else is going down
