Making a Wrong Turn


What can a bewildered brotha’ say,
it happens every unnatural day
Sunshine is labeled as shade,
crystal clear is called opaque fade

Did I make a left turn 
into the wrong dimension?
Now I’m seeing curvaceous things
that Nana never mentioned
Me rearview mirror eyes are 
side-swipe swivel swerve widening

Was there a hot-iron cool downgrade,
firebrand placed
on my Ocho Rios dreadlock upbraids?

Puff kings are turning into drag queens ...
strange flesh doings, 
I-and-I now be-be first-hand witnessing

Boys are turning into girls,
and those goatee girlz are turning into scrotum women

Lord knows, 
I feel like I’m living in
Sodom and Gomorrah again

Girls are turning into boys,
and those bosom boyz are turning into vulva men 

Now, I’m not for sight sure,
just what glassy gaze    starry eyes blurry, 
rest beyond the dress curtain
Surprises a-plenty are in store,
when it’s uncertain 
what’s behind the gender door

Don’t wanna make the wrong turn,
and roll into the surreal fifth dimension
Twilight Zone neon strip is on burn,
whatcha’ see 
might require psychiatric intervention

Girls are turning into boys,
and those boyz are turning into Venus men 

Lord knows, 
I feel like I’m Sin City living in
ancient Egypt Greece again

Boys are turning into girls,
and those girlz are turning into Mars women

Puff kings are turning into drag queens ...
strange flesh doings
It’s an open-closet psychotropic skin scene

Another brother daisy duke
exhale exigent cross-dress pollination
Pubic bramble bush      adolescent tumble,
take a different genitalia turn from
a same sister butch duchess

Boys are turning into girls,
and those girlz 
are turning into testosterone women

Lord knows, 
I feel like I’m Zion living in
Babylon Rome again

Girls are turning into boys,
and those boyz 
are turning into estrogen ova men

Momma drag queens 
are the former Daddy puff kings
Nothing on the surface is 
quite biological what it seems

Id feelings of a sorrowful kind,
have me heart sprout     creeping ivy     
      of eunuch tear yearning  
for a Garden of Eden spiritual awakening
And impotent thoughts of mine 
are starting to grow
down below,   in-between

I have not seen this one before. A powerful write, Freddie, but I think the only thing that has really changed in those who live alternative life styles is the general acceptance of their choices in society now. I believe it makes them happier which is a good thing. Everyone should be happy. If it's confusing for us, think how they must feel.
