Mrs B

Since her eldest son John told her he is gay
Conceited and homophobic Mrs B happy to hide away
From people she know and who know her on her side of the town
She feels by her own son she has been brought down
She does not like gay people something she has publicly made known
But now that she has a gay son of her own
That one of her children is living with mortal sin
Has left her feeling that the world on her has fallen in
She cannot bring herself to go to church on sunday
The shame she feels compels her to hide away
From the world out there she has only felt this way once before
Twelve years back when her husband Bill left to return to her never more
Since her son told her news she did not wish to hear
From the world out there she is hiding in fear.
