chemical reaction–a sweet satisfaction
orgasmic interaction–its physical attraction
we seek all our lives–for ones to love and to fuck
we harbor deep inside–the urge to rim and suck
expanding our conceptions of sex and of gender
has left the right apoplectic, fired up, and untethered
to my trans sisters and brothers i dedicate my life
i commit to being a luchador in the struggle for the right to be and thrive
prohomo street artists flirt with queer subaltern gangsters
conjuring a cylon army of rebels in platinum armor
i long to be loved and i live to be true
i dream of a future where transcendant love would serve as social glue
its time to rise up against this burgeoning fascist state
its time to rip the post-modern veil from a reborn third reich
trans sisters and brothers are rising to lead us towards revolution
centering the voices of those most marginalized is a movement building solution
physical attraction gives rise to a new karmic matrix
rebuilding social power and marginalizing those who hate us
but to transform human society into a new egalitarian system
we will need to uproot systems of oppression and reclaim the unearned wealth of the 1%
let trans and queer voices be at the forefront of that fight
alongside the movement for black lives–and the indigenous folk defending water rights
revolution must become the zeitgeist of the left in this perilous hour
we must build power and relationships that can reimagine what is possible and topple trump tower
