Read Poem: Be informed , by Michael Bornne

wear what ever you wish to wear
but should you mess with those who cross dress
the courts will not fail to put you in jail
You needn’t be honest or kind or any of the other virtues you’ll find.
There is no place for such shit in the new white American mind

the only rumpus is the moral compass
Jesus loves you, you know he loves you
for what ever you do in a man style shoe.

Jesus tells us hells hottest ghetto is reserved for a man in a stiletto

drag is something we never do in public view
if we love the lord, no matter how bored

Your mascara will run and that spandex will stink
when you are crying, stuck there, frying in the clink

even a dress for the sake of sarcasm
is seen by the lord as a sad mental spasm
it is something completely abhorred

You can dance a congo line, that’s fine

make a Chinese dragon with its tail waggin

all swaddled in a play
of pink paper machete

but put on a dress and veil and you’ll go to jail

You can dress like satan
take it to the max
be a guy in a sheet, add a torch
you hates blacks

but put on a dress snd a veil and you can go to jail

in what now? a dozen states?
put on sequins and you temp the faits

t’s just crazy what the conservatives are creating
they don’t even care about the nations credit rating

but same sex dating
god forbid
keep it hid

throw democracy over the fence
nothing there to recompense
mortgage fraud
not the least bit odd

but should you digress
to a mess in a dress?

The right wing grins
Jesus didn’t die for those kind of sins

put that Lemay on public display
and you better have family connections
that can nudge the right judge
to give you leave to find new directions

community service
therapy and all

otherwise

you’ll be the bell of the holding cell
wondering who to call
