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.
