Poetry: Pride United
What we all shout is our desire to fly
and see our potential grow higher,
without being bound by chains with no key.
We require the determination and power
to live our life uniquely and free,
preventing our hearts and souls from fading
and wanting to retire under the weight of a lord and sire.
We have had enough of being routinely slurred
and left in the gutter like a flea.
We will cast these chains off like the bird of fire
and seek victory on plains far higher.
There are many who choose not to understand us
and instead conspire.
We need not worry when our rainbow array
is united as a choir;
it’s then our voices have better chances of being heard,
preventing our freedoms from being deferred, deterred,
and left in mire like an unloved herd.
We demand to have the basic rights as a bird,
for now many of us must fly away from all that is absurd.
Yet we refuse to allow you to steal away
and then hide our identity & dignity
and gaslight us into thinking that never has occurred.
We will be strong to the last fight
because in our hearts we know we have grass roots might.
Here’s the take away, many of us have lost everything already,
be careful when you chose us as an opponent,
there will be nothing you can say or pray
that will make us disappear and go away
because you forget one small component.
You forget we are actually your sons and daughters,
it is us who need waters of life now,
yet I promise we will remember that you chose to shun
and at times even slaughter with us with your own guns.
So take a moment and think,
when you stifle and attempt to destroy us
you won’t avoid being indicted,
you forget you harm your future, your legacy and everything
because you refuse to be reunited,
yet we have hope, for the colors of our rainbow
transcend every party, creed and race,
so while we won’t forget that you have left us blighted,
we have far greater hope because within us something has been Ignited,
our hearts are already freed
because we live the dream and values of these states united.
