Ode to Matthew Shepard (for English class)

A Martyr’s Plight

[An Ode to Matthew Shepard]

In early October one fateful night

Destiny had left you beaten and tied;
Mckinney and Henderson took delight

As you, Matthew Shepard, martyr, had died.

Brain damage, fractures, death served to declare

The attack heinous, based on preference.

The murder, a hate crime, ruling unfair

Gay bashing brought little

Randomly commenting to say that this is lovely and also to inform you, if you haven't heard yet, that the House of Representatives voted on Thursday to pass the ruling that Hate Crimes will include those based on Sexual Orrientation. It just needs to be finalized, now.

I actually just posted it to show my friend it online (it was made for english class-- sonnet lol).
