Dear mama
I just got some new ink
Its simple and powerful
Beautifully permanent
Did you know people were marked
We were among the ones sent to the camps
I know you hate my tattoos
But think of it as a tribute
My people died in a gas chamber
People who thought like you sent
Them there
You see back then we couldn’t love
Couldn’t kiss in the streets
Now people just call us names
Then they used their fists
Have you ever heard of stonewall mama
They locked us in a bar burned us
The stones on christopher street are still red
The pavement stained with blood
I finally got something pink
You know how i’ve always hated that color
Even though i know its your favorite
Although maybe that’s really why
There is a little pink triangle on my spine
Resting nestled right in the small of my back
To represent the people they call bent
Yes mama I'm crazy
I’m crazy about her
