Epidemic
Welcome to the world
where things aren't quite what they seem
where rules mean something different
and laws can't be broken
Here we live our lives
not play them
here we win and lose
not fail and succeed
Oh no my friend
here we love and cherish
sincerity and passion
we can't afford to hate
Welcome my friend to this Epidemic
Where the earth sings to the trees
and the ocean plays with the wind
Oh yes welcome to this epidemic where lovers love
and brothers shove
but never hurt
This is the epidemic
where our colors blend
and our differences match
Welcome to this epidemic
where brooks babble and birds sing
you are welcome to stay
and live within this epidemic
you are free to live your life
but you must keep our life secret
for this world has enemies
its everyone else that hates us
the powers of the world have listed us
listed us as an epidemic
our way of life threatens theirs
can't you see my friend
that we are a problem
our peaceful lives harm the world
governments don't want us to exist
but we do
and that's why you must keep our lives secret

Awesome.
I'm so glad to see something that isn't typical angst. I like your last stanza.. but the 2nd line of the last stanza seems off to me. I don't like how it's really short and none of the others are like that.
Over all, awesome job. 4/5 - Report As Spam
