by @z-trista-davis

The first item of the gay agenda is call the meeting to order We count for quorum and make sure the entire rainbow is present, My mom taught me meeting manners At our conference room, dinner table. They told a Ginsberg to write like a Kerouac And they told a millennial to act like a baby-boomer But the difference between Ginsberg and me is that he could’ve had the Dream But when they wrote it down, they left out the gays And the the LGBT’s left out me. They saw the way that the gays were eyeing monogamy Like it was a sequin halter top once worn by Bowie So, white, straight, cis America wrote to the government, And now it’s The American Dream, Patent Pending.
