Another Condition
Another Condition
With the white ring of confidence
around his neck
With a dog collar dressed
in a black suit
He said that homosexuality
was a condition
High blood pressure is a condition
Alopecia is a condition
Psoriasis is a condition
Water retention is a condition
Tinitus is a condition
According to the man in a dog collar
I have a condition
My condition is being homosexual
The voice of ignorance fans the
fires of prejudice
The voice of prejudice invariably is a
hetrosexual in a position of authority
I am condemned by my condition
It is an abomination
Does the voice of moral authority have a cure?
Is there a therapy of conversion available?
Authority is the majority
the moral majority
My condition does not respond
to treatment
I am incurable
The voice of authority has spoken
I am not like other men
singled out to stand alone
to ridicule
But I do so with my head lifted high
You only have to be different
to be condemned by the
Authority of man

Lovely poem, it is not a condition at all, I wish people wouldn’t have such warped views on homosexuality. I hope one day love overcomes prejudice!
