What does an ally look like in these days?
When allies hear the jokes, they must speak out.
Silence equals death, the OG’s would say.
Drown! We silence hate with thunderous shouts.
No matter who or how you choose to love,
I will stand tall; always in your corner.
Not a choice, I sing, but true faith thereof.
Sing! all in love, I am your supporter.
Not one more Mathew Shephard in our lives.
Not one more Stonewall; not now, not ever.
Not one more AIDS, no rest ‘til all survive.
Stand! We are Community, together.
Love! Matters not the one you must be with,
Love! Authentic love, ‘tis life’s greatest gift.
