Collective Poem between SAGE and the Center

we started,
you finished

don’t ask me to be polite
when I’m asking for
my fundamental right

best believe my future
Will be bright, just like the sunlight

Be ready to die,
Be ready to fight,
Be ready to life in the line

Walk with each other
In the moment of fear

We love, and despair and
Our hearts break
Just like yours

We can’t ask other
Not to discriminate when
We as a community continue
To discriminate ourselves

They are taking the T
Out of LGB

Always be vigilant
So the strikes we made
Will not be rolled back

Don’t forget the basis of life
Love each other, kindness, don’t discriminate

They forget
Even religion

The real you
are both important
And enough
The real you
Is an important
Part of the future

The real you
Will change the future

Continue to march to
The rear of freedom
Pledge to allegiance
To the past, present, and future

Taking the struggle and pain
And using it towards making
A change
Just another day
In the 99%

Anger is natural,
Anger is essential,
Anger is beautiful,

If you can’t trust
You can’t love

Something like her leopard printed tights and
A woman with panties older than me
Makes me want to salute her
And call her maatheraa

When you are overwhelmed
with beauty and love
Dare to listen and look
Like I’m right now
