The Martyr (February 22, 2016)

www.reclaimingthemind.org


I stand
Before you.

As
A silent witness
For the crimes
You have committed
Against me.

In the name
Of your God
And religion.

In knowing
Nothing
I can
Or will say
Shall change
Your mind.

As you prepare
A pit area
For the execution
Of my sentence.

Death
By stoning.

A stranger ask:

"What crime
I'm guilty
Of committing."

To which
I reply:

"Of loving
Another woman
Instead of
A man."

First stone
Hits me
Behind my ear
Drawing blood.

The riotous crowd
Cheer their approval
As my knees buckle
Under the malicious assault.

Praying
I won't show
Any sign of weakness
For these vultures
To prey upon.

Forcing them
To realize
How spiteful and hollow
They are.

By their action.

Author's note:  For the record, I'm a trans-lesbian, who has been brutally rejected, by my own mom. And I don't ever expect her, to change her views, towards me, as her trans-daughter.
