~~~~~

peace will rain down.
ashes will rebuild the world from ruin to majesty.
Perhaps then, you too will be free.
Capture the essence of the human you've crafted for so long.
Graft it to your skin, so you can feel the other. The one who gave you that heart to breathe, and the oxygen from within your veins.
Someday you too, will wander in obscurity and pain. You'll be trapped in a darkness that captures and throws you into a slow dark death.
Even so, I would wish that though you condemn us so freely with those precious Bibles in your hand, you will realize that we are just like you.
We've walked in your shoes..

We are the gays and lesbians of the day. Too afraid to shout it out loud for your heart to hear.
And even though you have a broad face and such a perfect figure, you will one day have a daughter or son of your own.
And you will feel very proud when they walk hand in hand with their lovers, wives and husbands.

And you will learn that there is more to life then just being the Straight.
There is so much more, to experience and learn about... Open your hearts. Take it all in. Every drop of sweat and pain and horror, torture and hatred.
And we will gladly swim in the nile of your deaths and disease.
Because all we ever wanted, was an It's Okay.. You don't have to be AFRAID..

Because we are.
More then you can possibly ever know...
As much as you hate and despise us, we love you.
With our hearts open, waiting for your acceptance..

We have one life on this earth, some of us.
So live it with the power that you have inside.
And be free little birds.
Fly away, into the happiness that awaits...

~End~
