Badmind Sodomite


They want to badmind me because I’m a sodomite Everyone else, they try to backbite Creeping up, out of the light I will not fight with guns or dynamite. They want to kill me or run me out They don’t know what life is all about Thinking they know, they don’t know me As I put pen to paper I’m still free. People run their mouths to say I’m lame Thinking they’re bad and my life is a game I take no heed because they want some fame I sit and watch all of their shame. Sentence me to hell, but I don’t fret They equate me to the devil I haven’t met Leave me, hate me, and kill me for my sin Stuff my humanity in a trash bin Hope one day we all can marry All the spoofs and the fairy No longer will I stay in the fray I have to focus on me and being gay.
