When Your Gender Is Black
Everybody is gay
or everybody is
something else
Nobody is straight
because they cannot
have the opposite
There is no race
but the invisible
Spirit of Liberty
Judges rule
with an iron rod
and only truth will do
let the world be one color
and no spilling
of our one red blood
Let the captives go free
and do not assign them
their identity
We posses bodies
diagnosed
with chromosomes
Xx or Xy
My mother
and my brothers
are not of
flesh and blood
or everybody is
something else
Nobody is straight
because they cannot
have the opposite
There is no race
but the invisible
Spirit of Liberty
Judges rule
with an iron rod
and only truth will do
let the world be one color
and no spilling
of our one red blood
Let the captives go free
and do not assign them
their identity
We posses bodies
diagnosed
with chromosomes
Xx or Xy
My mother
and my brothers
are not of
flesh and blood
