We killed Hart Crane Though he leapt To his death A poet’s plan Or perhaps a whim We hold the blame We killed Freddie Mercury And stopped the music The callous political games Blocked possible gains In a needed cure We killed Harvey Milk We were the bullets And the metal frame Held the assassin’s hand We hold the shame We killed The blond burnt boy Encouraging The hate We killed the strung up Beautiful boys The hung up Beaten up Broken hearted Brothers and sons We are the progenitors Of the violence Through action And more often than not Through inaction Maybe a little more guilt Would serve us well

Killing The Gay
We killed Hart Crane Though he leapt To his death A poet’s plan Or perhaps a whim We hold the blame We killed Freddie Mercury And stopped the music The callous political games Blocked possible gains In a needed cure We killed Harvey Milk We were the bullets And the metal frame Held the assassin’s hand We hold the shame We killed The blond burnt boy Encouraging The hate We killed the strung up Beautiful boys The hung up Beaten up Broken hearted Brothers and sons We are the progenitors Of the violence Through action And more often than not Through inaction Maybe a little more guilt Would serve us well
