The piece below was written for a young Tranny rapper who wishes to remain anonymous and considering the brutal nature of her environment I do not blame her but she feels we should keep faith in our spirit and never be deflected from our goals to educate with compassion as our banner.
I have never written rap so I thought it best to keep it simple and as you can see it is but it still hopefully gets the point across.
(TURN THE TIDE)
Turn the tide
We will not hide
Time is on our side
We will abide
The taunts, the laughter
And the chides
And guide
Heads held dignified
And climb the hillside
To hold our banner nationwide
Nation we will smile and override
Any cyanide
To turn the tide
We will glide
And confide
The compassion
And the love
Within our blood
Will not be dyed
By the pesticide
Of those who side
Against this tide
We are not rarified
We tower like a mountainside
And hold our banner proud dignified
This message is not classified
“We will turn the tide”
Dedicated to a young girl with real courage and a coredecency i admire.
Mandy.
