Standing up against Homophobia

Tall with Pride. 🌈

When everyone around you chooses to bend down low,

Stand tall.

When everyone around you is overwhelmed by the pressures of fear,

Stand out boosting in being queer.

Wearing the tower-strength foundation

Of who you are.

When everyone around you chooses to walk about with shoulders falling down,

Stand proud.

Feet held firm on the ground

Not even the whirlwind of hate

Can shake or move you.

Β When everyone around you chooses to mum

Speak up!

You cannot afford to lick their bums

Of prejudice- even if they weren’t.

They tell us,

how can we stand at all?

we have been beaten

and broken

and stripped of our identities.

and denied our human rights

The past is a narrative about our fears.

The Present is an extension of our rise up

The past is a painting of our tainted memories.

Blistered, woe-be-gone memories.

The Present demands us to erase all this and spring.

This is a fight for basic human rights

And we will not surrender.

Love is about love and breaks borders of gender

Unless these rights are made for every one but not choosen ones.

That ought to have been part of the agenda

When drafting the constitution.

We have to break this cycle of hate.

We have to amalgamate.

To bring down the walls of oppression.

Many are victims

Many will fall into the system

Especially depression If we choose to stay silent
