Majori - LGBTQ+ Sonnet Lyrics

We have tasted a bitter isolation
Legislation traps us behind the closet
Don't say gay; they've muted our conversations
While bullets lie in Uvalde's school's closet

Stones were flung, hurled at the LGBTQ
My titanium skin built tough from neglect
Stone walls burned so you can B-e Y-o-u
A king's pride with marathon stride earned respect

Pride soothes shame, eyes have gingerly watched pain go
Draw your weapons. Love's blade cuts the darkest nights
Reddish-yellow, green and indigo rainbows
Violence was traded for violet lights

Speech is free but not all are selling the truth
Equality will be the gift to the youth
