no beards

i'll take this opportunity

to share the thought that came to me

the other meaning for the word

i hope this doesn't sound absurd

because a beard can also be

a fake relationship, you see

the world's unkind to some of us

we must be careful who we trust

so the word beard, i declare

should be reserved for facial hair

they all look fine, to each their own

stubble, short, or overgrown

however, for the other kind

i've got a future set in mind

one where nobody has a beard

let all be out and proud and queer
