…IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER! The devil's brew that they have
seasoned with our dreams, with our lives, is about to spill out into the fires
of justice -- the fire that rages in the bosom of each one of us here. We have
taken the worst that they could give, and we have endured. The poison fed to us
only purifies our body, cleansing us through a healing fever. Their lies tried
to blind us with, only made us see clearer; now we see with the third eye, we
understand the method and the madness…WE
HAVE TRIUMPHED ALREADY!
Even though we are oppressed we understand that OPPRESSION is the systematic,
societally-condoned mistreatment of who we are simply because we live a life
that’s same-sex-prone. We are mistreatment and have to live with a
whole heap of propagation and misinformation about OUR lifestyle. This kind of hurts us in more ways than one, we
have men that are forced to become sub-human and co-exist in world that doesn’t
allow them to embrace their sexuality. Like I’ve said before, ‘THE MELTING POT IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER!’
I have found
that, for many bisexual men, the concepts of gay and straight are fluid; they
tend to identify themselves simply as men who like sex with other men. This
happens because we live in a society that often discriminates against people
who are different. We all have been taught to believe that to
be "straight" is to be normal. Hence they try to oppress
us, keep up caged but that can’t hold us for long. How can anyone deny who they are? To do something like this poses a bigger problem to society in ways they won't be able to comprehend...‘THE MELTING POT IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER!’
How do you live with
yourself showing such hate? When you do this you force unnecessary lies and you further
perpetuate the notion that GAY is BAD and STRAIGHT is GOOD…‘THE MELTING POT IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER!’ I
just wish that women would open their eyes and see what is really going on,
they are the ones that reinforces homophobia and forces men to always treat
each other as if being a MAN means
you have to be tough and hard, never showing any affection or caring about
another man’s existence…‘THE MELTING POT
IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER!’ So to the world I say, ‘LISTEN & LISTEN GOOD, WE ARE THE NEXT
STAGE IN EVOLUTION AND YOU CAN’T HOLD US BACK FOREVER…YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SIDE
TRACK US OR CAGE US. PLEASE REMEMBER IF YOU CAN’T IMPRISON A MAN’S SPIRIT, YOU
CAN’T IMPRISON THE MAN.’ ‘THE MELTING POT IS ABOUT TO BOIL OVER!’
My grandmother used to tell us, her grandchildren: "That if it doesn't kill us, it only makes all of us stronger." I never really understood it until I became aware of my uniqueness as a same gender loving man. Now I know.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, some of us have paid the price of being queer with their lives. But I feel that our gayness is something that does make us strong AND angry as hell. And that anger, channeled against bigotry and homophobia, will always make each one of us not only stronger but a better person than all of our enemies combined.
