Poem

“We”

By Joseph Maddela

 

 

 

Desciption of Submission: “POEM ABOUT THE GAY COMMUNITY” - Joseph

 

 

Equality.

Liberty.

Out-spoken identity.

Until now, we were unseen like smokescreen faces.

Until now, we were people unheard of like absurd basket cases.

But now,

We celebrate by congregating and initiating our advances.

With fantastic ferocity, we advocate, promote, and fight for chances.

Like outcasts, we defend with commanding voices.

As a community, we come out making all the loud noises.

 Competing for equal opportunities and more equal choices.

Speaking without fear, boldly without shame.

Even when invisible, we prove to be invincible.

Despite unfairness and inequality,

We are challengers, contestants, and rivals of adversity.

By representing differences,

Exemplifying instances,

With independent thoughts, our liberal ways,

The philosophy is change, our one common phrase.

By embracing all personalities,

We will not be subservient to mankind or nationality,

Or live like salts of the earth or succumb to words of stupidity.

We speak the monumental truths by seizing it

And also being it.

Don’t discard he, she, or those of trans-gendered anomalies.

We are everywhere as the trendsetters and the go-getters.

As the future carvers and sculptors

We will redefine integrities,

Realign equalities,

Rescind, reshape, and redesign identities.

As activists, we establish our platform as the excellent speakers.

We recognize our potential as the fearless leaders.

We acknowledge our forthcomings as the champion achievers.

Accommodating and accepting,

We are unmatched, unparalleled, and influential believers.

Evolved as sophisticated and diverse individuals.

We are masculinity.

We are femininity.

We are pride. 

We are dignity.

We are the alternative pulse to modern society.
