A Poem For Barack Obama
Posted by Rebecca Juro at 8:44 PM
http://transgroupblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/poem-for-barack-obama.htmlI am not a poet. In fact, while I've been writing for years, this is my first attempt ever at this kind of thing, so I ask your indulgence. Bad poetry it may be, but it's how I feel. I offer it in the hope that its message will supersede its failings in style and format.
As your big day approaches
I hope you realize
The hurt that you have caused us
Our feelings brutalized
As millions cheer your victory
We cry for what we've lost
To return an invitation
Is it really worth the cost?
We know you just don't get us
We're those who you avoid
I say this as a Lesbian
Transgender
Unemployed
