We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: The Cruelty of Crowds

~ The Cruelty of Crowds ~
by Wishmaster. © 14/04/2001

So alone, he sat on a window sill,
He had never felt so utterly lost.
Through misty windows, he mused until,
A clock chime reminded him of the cost.
That he had loved, he had loved in ritual,
The baying of mobs was always too loud;
The tenderness of the individual,
Yes, this was the cruelty of the crowd.

Believing in his orientation,
He was the one that would always suffer.
A Quentin Crisp in an alien nation;
Tender loving for his sexual buffer.
Beaten and bloody by a phobic mewl:
In dim alleyways he fearfully cowed,
This tenderness of an individual,
Hidden from the cruelty of the crowd.
