what does it take forone human
being to call another
abomination?
How can he allow such a word
to roll off his tongue and be spat out
through teeth and lips, which yesterday
just kissed a child goodnight and through
the same breath uttered amen?
Does he imagine the object
of his hatred weeping an alien decibel
from shuddering flesh orgnashing teeth with tears so unlike
his own evidence of pain?
Sticks and stones may break our bones,
and words can and have hurt us.
They say wechose our damnation,
us who are
hell-destined,
unnatural,
immoral,
sick.
How did they derive all that from the
gender of our affections, just because it differs
from their own?
How can they call it a choice
when they might as well call it a suicide,
in world of lethal climate?
If it is a choice, then I choose not
false piety praying dictated guilt into words,
or rather, dictated words into guilt.
I choose to trust a love pure
and earnest as an infant reaching forth
to touch a woman, who turns out
to be its mother.
For I know You love me,
as You have loved the buried woman
seething in catacomb of silence,
as You have loved the slave
grieving in night, wondering
the colour of freedom.
And like the woman and the slave,
I will wait for You to unbind us
from this age that isn't ours; to hope
with a strength that echoes Sheppard's last cry,
now unfenced and skullstrong,
against pistols and placards of unlove.
That is,
to understand that Stonewall stands
not merely as a landmarkor a legacy,
but also,
a house where God resides.

I been hangin' around here lately
With my mind messed up
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
Didn't help meI guess I'm all messed up now baby
Soon as I jumped into my ride
Those memories start to play
A song comes on the radio
And there U are baby once again
It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slowIt doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you Since you been gone
I keep thinkin' about you baby
Gets me all choked up
This heart of mine keeps
Dreamin' of you and it's crazy
You'd think I'd had enough
As soon as I get you out my head
I'm in your car again
Just one request from the radio
I'm back in love sugar once again
It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slowIt doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you
Here comes the strings
Then somebody sings
Only takes a beatAnd then it starts killin' me darlin'
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
From that radio
It's just
Another
Lonely
Love Song

*PS, this song is from my little sister her form of encouragement to me, GAMBATE !!!
When everything is going wrong and things are just a little strange
It’s been so long now you’ve forgotten how to smile
And overhead the skies are clear, but it still seems to rain on you
Then your only friends all have better things to do
When you’re down and lost and you need a helping hand
When you’re down and lost along the way
Oh, just tell yourself
I’ll be ok
Now things are only getting worse and you need someone to take the blame
When your lovers gone there’s no-one to share the blame
You’re sleeping with the TV on and you’re lying in an empty bed
All the alcohol in the world would never help me to forget
When you’re down and lost and you need a helping hand
When you’re down and lost along the wayJust try a little harder,
try your best to make it through the day
Oh, just tell yourselfI’ll be ok!
You’re not alone (You’re not alone)
You’re not alone (You’re not alone)
You’re not alone (You’re not alone)
Just tell yourself, I’ll be okOh, just tell yourself, I’ll be ok
Won’t you tell yourself ...
When you’re down and lost and you need a helping hand
When you’re down and lost along the way
Try a little harder try your best to make it through the day
Oh, just tell yourself
I’ll be ok
I’ll be ok
I’ll be ok
