A number of people have posted songs and poems on the Free Zach group. The situation has certainly inspired creativity, in all forms. I wanted to archive them here, as they're inspiring, thoughtful, and prove further that we must end these destructive unconstitutional actions which imprison Zach and other unwilling participants like him.

only afew hours after i found out about all this, i wrote a song. i thought i might aswell post it here. sorry for anything in the song that might upset you, but this kind of thing really makes me mad. but heres the song.
Love in Action
Love your fellow man but only as a brother No intimacy between the same sex, only the other You preach for unity and to love the ‘sinner’ But your ideas are like feeding them anthrax for dinner
Love in action? Yeah right
Homosexuality is not a fall from grace Right to privacy to a loving embrace In the land of the free gays can’t marry No chance to hear “Dick do you take Larry?”
Love in action? Yeah right
Brainwashing camp fro the gays The abuse will be over in a couple days You will become a prize Christian youth And serve at the next town meeting, at our booth
Love in action? Yeah right
If there is a true sinner out there It’s you, for the crimes you bear Against life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness All you are is a fascist, confess
Love in action? Yeah right

All,
I cant even imagine how I would feel in Zachs situation. I cannot even try to comprehend it. This is a new work based partly on how I would probably feel and what little I know about Zach.
This work is dedicated to him and all the others who have been through this, are going through it, and yet might
Your friend

For Zachary: Mother did you love me?
Mother did you love me? As my tears would flow Mother did you comfort me? When I was afraid to go?
Father were you proud of me? When you heard my voice fly high Did you ever love me? Or was it all a lie?
I once worked up my courage To tell you who I am But all you did was prove to me Your love was just a sham
You tried so hard to destroy me Beatific smile on your face As you took away all my world And forced me to this place.
And will you expect me, family To forgive you for what you’ve done? I was on the verge of suicide And you were the smoking gun
Father, mother I leave you I call a once fond goodbye And wonder as we pull away Are you proud to watch me cry?
And the next time that you think of me I hope you’ll understand what you’ve done As you sit sad alone and crying In the web you alone have spun.
