Which rebellion against expectation;
Society assumes that what's inside
A person will accept its straight dictation.
Pride says not only that this is not so
But that it should not be, and that repression
Is illegitimate; that people know
Themselves, and that those selves deserve expression.
It started as a riot, throwing bricks,
Because it can and must resist quiescence;
Queerness is not a sin that needs a fix,
But a deep truth that touches on an essence.
So all month long, Pride should be celebrated
Nor can it by that single month be sated.
