Heteronormativity In Jail

Heteronormativity in Jail

‘Hey you in the middle march on in median mediocrity’
                        No subversive elements needed no lateral thinking and
no thinking per se is required once we follow the crowd

‘Eccentricity get into that box until no box is required’
                       So called traitors poets intellectuals struggle with blame
are deemed the fifth column since we should be all equal

On the battle fields of evil ‘you are with us or against us’
                     while the golden mean of virtue and reason withers away
in dire misappropriation of the ancient theme of wisdom

‘Stay on the path’ and soon there will be fences and bars
              when we will finally accept the message and convenience that
prisons and goal post surely protect us simply from our Selves

Unless of course we chose to march in the centre of convictions
         behold as treasures the journey without the meddling middlemen
or women who claim the truth from poisoned cages of indifference
