The Brick

The brick soars above their heads

The queers are all fed up

Better off fighting than ending up dead

The queers have had enough

If your rainbow doesn't include

Black and brown

Baby pink, pastel blue

The ancestors would turn their noses up at you

You think that queerness is just about love

When it has always been more than that

We have always lifted the boot

That kicks and stomps at our backs

Liberation, liberty

What does my country know of thee?

We must fight for all to be free

Even though there is no guarantee

Even though there may be no victory

Even though they're killing the trees

Even as we remember their names

Even though we may not look the same

Love is love

And pain is pain

But rainbows shine

After the rain
