Stonewalled

The Stonewall Inn wasn't thought of as a civil rights champion
Or center of equality demonstrations
But it was because of the circumstances forced upon it
This nation was unequal
Being gay in public meant taking chances
So when push was literally a push
The people who went to the Stonewall shoved in return
Human nature requires innocent blood to be sacrificed
In order for change to be burned
Into society's conscience
