ON THE PASSING OF 'MARRIAGE EQUALITY'

We won't be silenced. There's a case for tact,
more for ignoring it. They'll say 'not yet'
tell us to wait, be sure they'll not forget.
The laws they are proposing are just packed

with such good things, although they leave us out.
There are not many of us, and the hate
some feel for us, gets stressed in each debate.
So don't be selfish, demonstrate or shout

outside, or weep. It's really for the best
we wait our turn. Again. Patient and mild
we stand, and they talk to us like a child.
Then turn their back and bitch with all the rest.

How our sick acts give sleepless fever nights
to proper people. Fuck our human rights.
