Poems

WORDS
rip off your skin
get to the bare bones
of who we are.
Words expose
our souls hidden thoughts honest feelings
an contagious virus
spreading intolerance, hate and anguish
from germ infestedmouths ofdiseased minds, hearts and souls.
p.a.p. 2006

UNTITLED
What made you believe
I think like you?
What made you suppose
you could spout your venomous words
and have MY support?
What made you so sure
your bad jokes
your stinging hurtful comments
would make me laugh?
Why would you ASS U ME
because I'm straight
I'm also homophobic
LIKE YOU?
p.a.p.2006

About Me

Name: Patricia A

Location: New York, United States

I'm passionately and actively against discrimination and oppression of any kind. As a survivor of domestic violence and a student of human and community services, I have learned that random acts of violence beget fear and the constant threat of violence is what keeps victims oppressed and feeds the oppressors. My hope is that initiating this blog & forming the PFLAG Capital Region NY Chapter,will not only supply support, advocacy, education & information to LGBT's & their families and friends, but will eventually grow and have the capability to better educate the general public about the "mysteries" of sex and gender in order to replace the ignorance and fear that have created homophobia with intelligence, logic, understanding, tolerance and equal rights. Find me on MySpace and be my friend!
