I am but a man against the flow of Time,
And after I am dead, others will label
What they see in me with words that are not mine,
And homophobes will give full reign to their libel.
Even now, the 'H' word is jammed down our throats,
As Wikipedia gives haters free roam
To define us with a word that gets our goats –
As if Blacks were called 'negroes' in that tome!
What I call myself is the all-important,
Because I do it with love, and therefore,
How sad that I'll be in their hands ignorant,
When I cannot defend myself anymore.
So to future bigots of the world, I say:
Hate yourself with the 'H' word, for I am Gay.
