Raise the Flag

Come now young ones
Gather around
care for one another
we are all family here
brothers and sisters
under humanity

Today is special time to say
a tale one or two from the heart
it seems we cannot love anyone these days
as piss and blood hits the ground and i quote piss and blood hit the ground
you cant love anyone in times like these

A revolution needs to happen
and children its you who will lead the flags risen as the armies of one scream and shout to let it all out
how much hate and grief should be shrouded in darkness for us to wake up
In this revolution many will fall some will burn at the stake some will be hanged beheaded burned alive stoned to death.  Tears are on my cheeks as the burn as the tears drip

I don't know young ones old ones middles aged we all young in spirit so i address us all as young spirited ones
Young spirits are needed to lead to bash out the homophobia that out brothers and sisters face all around the world.
We have problem here in the first world with minor but hurtful ways
I read of a child experiencing homophobia because she has two mothers how is that fair to the child who now is independent young spirit who is making difference in this path this life so her past doesn't affect another.

A young man got addicted to drugs from the bar scene and overdosed
Cant we party without harming ourselves
Young spirits grab your flags we are free we must express through art music painting poetry spoken speeches dance

Dance you way to the top young free souls
We are the start of the revolution
without one voice one whisper one murmur there cannot be a motion to move forward
So will you go
beyond Gay
beyond Homosexual
beyond Heterosexual
And just be you
A young Spirit holding the flag of hope
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
those are our colors
our hope for tomorrow
spread it onward young ones
Hold that flag high as you lead on the revolution beyond Gay
Beyond straight
And be yourself first
Beat that judgement
Forgive yourselves
Love all
Love self
and most of all
Believe in self
