dread Queen
after giving the country
your service
and surviving its madness
they want to mash
you down now
for not respecting
its bloodsucking capitalists
they want to mash you
down
because you dare
to love yourself
because you dare
to think
because you dare
to explore your joy
because of your pride
in who you truly are
because you dare
to be different
because you dare
to reach beyond stars
because you dare to say:
what is this worth
when you are so much more
valuable
and unfathomable
