Father
My Father, I know I should be
sorry,
I know I shoud fall down upon Your
feet, clawing at Your
calves, begging for Your mercy, for my
God,
I have sinned.
My Lord, I am sure Your brow is
furrowed
in disdain, for I, Your lowly
servant,
have disobeyed You; but
Father, You should know, I am not
ashamed.
You say You sent Your son to die for
us, to be our
Sacrificial Lamb, that
He bore the cross to
atone for our
wrong, to free us from
Hell,
Father, did You not mean
all?
My God, are Your children right when they
scream
for the Holy Blood shed when
X loves no Y, and Y craves its
brother?
Father, can it truly be a sin to
love another?
Forgive me, Lord, for I can´t
fathom how Your
Grace
could be denied of the hands reaching for
You
just because they hold that of a forbidden lover, how a
Father so compassionate to others could
turn his back on a child because
he was born with breasts or
her chromosomes read XY.
My Father, do You truly love us
all?
Or does Your unconditional care
stop
before it reaches those who are under the
one condition?
Regardless,
I am not ashamed.
Father, I am not ashamed to love
You or Your son but
Father,
neither am I ashamed to love those who
love another, who
are another, I am not ashamed to sing
Hallelujah in the form of
Black Lives Matter and
Women with Equal Power, I am not ashamed to spread love because
love is love and
Father, You told me to
love my neighbor.
My God, my brothers and sisters speak of
treason against
You, that
You would be ashamed of
me, for I have fought for things against which
Your disciples preached.
But Father, I am not ashamed,
if Love is a sin, then
opne the Gates of Hell and let me in for
I will be at home there,
amongst my brothers and sisters that are
told to have been
shunned
from Your steps.
Father, if my world ends in fire and my
only sin was Love, then God,
may I burn brightly for
I am not ashamed.
