Musings and Poetry

My collection of poems, stories, and fitful spurts of creative energy.

Why is it okay?

Why is it okay?

To fire me for being gay?
To take away my children?
To deny me healthcare?
To kick me out of my home?
To mock me?
To stop my pursuit of happiness?

Listen.

Listen in the cold air.

Listen for the voice that says "no more."

Listen to the one who says it is not okay.

Listen to the coming Spring.

Listen and believe.

Listen and move.

Listen, for it is you.

Your voice.
Your movement.
Your change.
Your Spring.
Your triumph.
