I Laughed

I laughed when your eyes sent him away

Knowing you would rue the day

For he was a glue you needed to stay

To help anchor your beloved community

from your true enemy’s sway:

An over compensating masculinity

Set upon a pedestal for all to see

Giving birth to its infinity

Of swag-er and unhealthy egos at the vicinity

And the very heart of your community

And you had surrounded yourself in unity

With the masculinity of werewolves, weasels, vampires, monsters, troublemakers, and thugs

Knowing this, I laughed when your community sent him away

I alone knowing, at least that one, was just an honest, helpful, and highly ethical gay

And one so powerful that a “broken” community needed him to stay

And I laughed when you sent him away

When he joined me to serve the greater humanity

While your community languished in cycles of ego-ism, helplessness, violence

And a useless “self righteous” religious vanity
