A Cry
We glide through the still open space of the land
Hand in hand and at peace we are together
No distractions from the world
But the bleating of lambs and the twitter of the birds
No furrowed brows here
We are at peace
Yet in the greater world away from this beautiful place
Where we live and love without malice to any
And mankind struggles to survive
We see and hear the turmoil of intolerance and mistrust
Condemnation of love
Hatred of our kind
Without rationale or reason we are cast out
No trial no understanding
Ostracised by a world of suspiscion
Criticised and attacked by word and deed
Even by those themselves outcasts
Those with whom we should be friends
Not all the world is so
Many live with and love us
And by their act of devotion we survive
Together with our instincts not to merely disappear
We struggle against our oppression
Our kismet not always in our own hands
Once the world was not so unkind
And we could walk in peace openly and without fear
With none to reproach us our life
None to condemn our difference
Where all men and women could be as they are
All could live and love as they chose
With the demise of the goddess
And the extertion of dominion by man the God
We were forced to suppress and hide who we are
Crushed by his power
Overwhelmed by his desire to destroy us
Yet we live on
We shall continue to walk hand in hand
Not just in the still of the land
Where the beasts do not condemn us
We shall cry and scream and kick our way to our right
To live and breathe live and love
And be who we are
A Cry
We glide through the still open space of the land
Hand in hand and at peace we are together
No distractions from the world
But the bleating of lambs and the twitter of the birds
No furrowed brows here
We are at peace
Yet in the greater world away from this beautiful place
Where we live and love without malice to any
