Pagan In Paradise
I AM – a transgendered American,
when I walk down the streets of my
home town I fear
being murdered
* I am Not Free
I AM – a black American,
when I enter office buildings security
staff sometimes ask me if I am lost
* I am Not Free
I AM – a homeless American,
forgotten I wonder the streets,
seeing judgment in
the eyes of those I meet
* I am Not Free
I AM – a gay American,
afraid to hold my partners’
hand in public
* I am Not Free
I AM – a Muslim American,
treated with suspicion
when I buy anything
* I am Not Free
I AM – a prisoner, incarcerated
for a non-violent drug offense
* I am Not Free
I AM – a Mexican American,
stopped and searched
by the Border Patrol often
* I am Not Free
I AM – a Pagan American,
afraid to admit my
own religion to my
friends and family
* I am Not Free
I AM – a Native American,
confined by cultural
expectations and lack
of opportunity to a
reservation
* I am Not Free
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
