Queer Messiah

Where will our ark disembark?

Will there be better lands stretched forth

where we can hold all our siblings?


I want to have that hands-on haven,

heaven-sent sentimentality to the very earth

where our community shall be seeded.


Cross boundaries and build no borders,

no walls, no barriers needing breaking

as we want this to be all: for, by, open to.


Our ark shall be made by the might

that terror that those who will refuse to board

will be so off-put by. Build it strong.


When waters rise, their flood finally realized,

the wrath of God given not against us sinners,

us lovers of life as we were born into.


No, this wrath was meant for them. And, behold,

we know what comes, we know the waters will rise

and in our ark shall create salvation.


Hello, Rapture. Hello, Ragnarok. Your children

believed you to be minor moments made

to kill those capable of building new communities.


If you wish, we’ll open our doors to them,

we’ll be their own salvation: Gomorrah giving

goodness from our open hearts.


But, if they come, corruption from us

to their void hearts, fill their generations

with love, allness, openness, and they die


wondering why their children do not honor

them. Why doesn’t the child honor the white,

straight, cis father? Is he not the Patriarch?


Our ark disembarks at the found, at the made,

wanders over, and suddenly New World Order

is peace and love finally.
