Transgender Dinosaurs
An original spoken word poem about being transgender and feeling like an endangered species.
TRANSGENDER DINOSAURS
A million years passed right on by.
Countless dinosaurs lived and died.
A fricking great meteor struck the sea.
Humans woke to what they could be.
Then turned and looked the other way.
Someone else’s problem today.
Thousands more years, fell on deaf ears.
Monuments stood thousands of years.
Millions of lives, slaves cast in stone.
Forgotten today, largely unknown.
And arguments, and fights, and wars.
Over lands, and skies, and fields and shores.
Hundreds of years trading on fears.
Promises for sale, delivering tears.
The skies now filled with chimney smoke.
Ashen hopes in a filthy cloak.
Loosening grasp of what life means.
Forget the beautiful things we've seen.
Tens of years yet millions of tears.
Wondering why, hiding with fears.
Went by for us, lines for a bus.
Fake deals, two for them one for us.
Turning the dial, earning a dime.
Struggling to survive, turning to crime.
Months pass on by, silently shout.
Why am I here? What's life all about?
Some standing tall, bursting with pride.
Some can't wait to get off this ride.
Some cry, some fall, some die, some shout.
Most shrinking small, veiled in doubt.
Hours go by, we run out of tea.
To the shops, dishing hate to me.
Braving past the ‘isms and ‘phobes.
Virtue signals, turning their nose.
Clenching fists and keeping scores.
Oh god! I miss the dinosaurs.
