@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Sonnet For An Irish Lad, Who Delights In His Homosexuality
Friend, too many will not want you to enjoy
the romance you seek to share with that English boy:
their rages will gather like storms to assail
the love that resonates in male to male,
moments of exquisite or intimate moods.
Unfortunately, thugs, haters and prudes
believe that Love, Who is God, can be constrained,
and their prejudice will not be denied.
(By fools like them, Love was once crucified;
although not by a tomb too long detained.)
Beware: hands that once patted you on the back
can be balled into fists for an attack
upon you. Verbal or physical assault
is the response they turn to by default.
ENVOI:
For those who feel they want to know, or are just nosey,
this poem was inspired by the love Oscar gave 'Bosie.'
