What?
What do you do when the one you love the most is the one who hurts you the most?
I Hurt
I ran across this old printout from 1996. It?s a poem I printed from years ago and I wanted to share.
Still Remembering?
On this, the 10th anniversary of the brutal attack and killing of Matthew Shepard, I?m continuing to remember him and all the others we?ve lost. I usually always do something here at Fiercepoet.com in remembrance; whether it be the simple placement of the header image I use, posting of a video, a song or some other form of tribute. I?m slowly building a tribute that can be simply added to and reposted each year. This is the work in progress. I say work in progress because as long as there is hatred towards homosexuals and transgenders, there will always be work to be done.
Charlie Howard - July 1984.... Allen R. Schindler, Jr. - October 1992.... Brandon Teena - December 1993.... Scott Amedure - March 1995.... Billy Clayton - May 1995.... Tyra Hunter - August 1995.... Matthew Shepard - October 1998.... Billy Jack Gaither - February 1999.... PFC Barry Winchell - July 1999.... JR Warren - July 2000.... Danny Overstreet - September 2000....

Unfortunately, this list may never end. We can however help prevent further crimes by remembering past victims. No one will ever forget seeing that bloody, split-rail fence on the Wyoming prairie. No one ever should.
