Sense Sonnet - Acher

Out in Arms

All militaries have got gays.
A few nations say no big deal.
Other nations deal in harsh ways.
Caught gays get beheaded - for real.
The main gay thing is homo sex,
And that should be a private thing.
If made public then that erects
The need for the brass reacting.
The U.S.A. Dont't Ask, Don't Tell
Was what the government best thought
Could put the thing in a nutshell -
Gays won't be asked, so don't get caught.

If in the service and caught gay,
One gets fired in the U.S.A.
