Gold star
For the bold warrior
Who lives valiantly
In parentheses
(The one who says
"..but not me")
Gold star.
Fighting
The good fight.
Sacrificing all that
Energy and time
To steady himself
Under the spotlight.
Gold star.
Ever the vocal
Friend of equality,
With heroes
Exclusively pale,
Whose icons,
Exclusively male.
Gold star
Upon well-earned
Gold star.
How far you've come!
From overt
To covert
From *******
To "just mucking
Around"
Gold star
For your denial,
Your correction.
The unwashed
Finger over
Their mouth,
"Just affection".
Gold star
For the good guy
Who has it all,
(Bar empathy)
Who means well,
So selflessly,
Who maintains
Everything
Exactly
"As it should be".
Gold star.
