In my English class, we are currently studying satires and their underlying meaning, so in this poem I had to illustrate 5 different forms of satire including exaggeration, overstatement, sarcasm, irony, and hyperbole that are shown through a cartoon I found on Google showing an old man holding a sign that says gay marriage is evil and him asking these 2 innocent gay guys to try to look a little scarier, since the country seems to have some huge problem with same sex relationships. I personally think we all should be able to date or marry whoever we want regardless of skin color or sexuality. Read through and try to find the 5 different forms of satire that I illustrated. Hope you enjoy it!
Now a days the gays are multiplying.
With all the hatred and negative words being
said,
They are forced to resort to sneaking around
and lying.
Some against it all say, "OMG gays are so scary!"
So ignorant and narrow minded,
Saying things like why is he with a guy named
Larry instead of a girl named Mary?
All this animosity adds to the equation of us all
being divided,
Makes no sense when I thought we were apart
of the country known for being oh so united.
Gays are like "aliens".
So out of this world different because they like
men,
Less human than E.T. from that movie way back
when.
We are all on our own when it comes to knowing
who we are,
According to the cartoon,
All "evil" resides at the city's gay bars.
Aside from it all,
Be who you want to be no matter what anyone
has to say,
Because in the end happy is the original meaning
of the term gay.
