for A Tribe Called LGBTQ
As the wind cried fair game
they grinned from ear to ear
without a neat or fear
of things far & near
The earth loved them the same
but they knew not of this fact
only of their longtime pact
to honor the love contract
Then at last the fire came
& brought some pride inside their tears
as they took back the years
well deserving of three cheers
