Revelation 14/7.

I have a neighbor who is kind.
He says the way I am is fine.
He is a minister like you!
He has a pretty different view.

Fred Rogers says he’s proud of me.
No matter what, I am worthy.
He likes me just the way I am.
You say I can’t, he says I can.

Fuck Fred.
bonehead,
drop dead.
spoon-fed,
hi-bred,
unread,
misled,
brain dead.

You told me he would go to hell,
that didn’t feel true.
When I asked, your voice, it
“SHoOoOoK” the room
I quietly agreed with you.

I once said church was boring,
That they yell too much, it’s loud.
You warned me I’d wake up alone,
Our family high above the clouds.

I didn’t dare to speak aloud:
“I think I’m gay”
“That isn’t kind!
Adopting me: a choice, you made.
I couldn’t risk to change your mind.

I couldn’t risk abandonment
for wondering why:
“I couldn’t?”
So I learned to not ask questions,
“But why not?”
“You simply shouldn’t!”

Some mornings when I would
wake up, and
no one else was there,
I’d panic that God knew the truth,
That my life would not be spared.

To watch the movie LEFT BEHIND,
When you are eight,
“well almost nine”
It’s scarier than any horror.
Your family’s gone.
You will be slaughtered!

Your choices: burn or guillotine
To pay for your worst sins.
If you are GAY
or don’t fear GOD
The pearly gates won’t let you in!

Instead your left to burn in hell.
Because? You lied or wouldn’t tell.
Because? You didn’t clean your
room.
Because? You were bad
from the womb.

You were not born like all of us,
Believing what you’re told.
You ask to many questions.
Your mind is far to bold.

Shut up, don’t speak.
You stupid freak.
What’s wrong with you?
Do what we do!
Why are you here?
Let’s smear the queer.
You don’t belong.
You’re wrong
wrong
WRONG!

It doesn’t matter
if you’re kind,
Or wait for those
who fall b e hind,
Or generous to every cause,
There is only ONE essential law:
Do not take the L O R D in vain.
Don’t disagree or you’ll be slain.
Obey your master up above.
Fear and compliance = love.

Why all the stupid things you ask?
Please stop talking, wear this mask.
Children should be seen not heard.
Children must O B E Y God’s word.

A child will suffer if they rebel.
Endless pain, eternal H E L L
So do exactly as your told.
Why must you be so brainless?
bold?

Stop asking why,
please just comply.
Who don’t believe,
deserve to die.
So eat your dinner, do not lie.
Or you’ll wake up and wonder why:
Where did all my family go?
above,
We’re up you’re down

below!

Get in this box, and be like us.
Why do you have to make a fuss?
We are right, and you are wrong.
You don’t believe, you don’t belong.
