Two-Spirit from Canada
Any/All Pronouns
Queer and Proud
Métis and Proud
Autistic and Proud
I also write plays
Softly falling feathers
A vivacious red that stems
From the thorns of the past
The blood of yesterday
...
Decadent and opulent these joys
Reflect upon my corrupt state of mind
I pay no heed to prophecies of old
Over me no power do they hold
...
Peace it continually does escape
Our democracies dying in much pain
Darkness enshrouding the vox populi
Oh these darkest days, these most sullen times
...
In the cold white lights of a subway station
You can see the roots of an unnamed nation
A nation of the young who are sick and tired
Of being made to pass on through the fire
...
The glass throne sits empty in this dark hour
Just as well, it would shatter anyway
But whom then shall command me through this haze
The foggy tendrils of smoke do encase
...
