For Once Its Not About You Poem by Paul Brookes

Ignoring your glorious ignorance,
that barbarian strain.
don't strain yourself.

a destroyer,
what is there to say
laughing at you laughter
gauging your cruelty
its degrees of harassment
but never engaging.

I know your fists
encountering them many a time
enduring the unendurable
but we endure pain, making us stronger I suppose.
know your spittle
I have wiped of from my face many times.

we the watchers from the side lines
side lined, taking no sides and having non,
we watch your antics with antique grace
address you with acid caustic tongue
what you ask?
but you don't get it

Gay rights is not about you,
its not antistraight its pro Gay
so ignoring your ignorance
I say hey, for once, its not about you.
