The Reign of Peace, Love, and Pride

By John Forget 

I am a drag queen hear this here

my name and dignity you will not smear

I have fought for my existence and for my l life

My will is strong like a thoroughly sharpened knife

I am a child of the earth I have two spirits

You will not silence my voice, you will hear it

There is a reason why we raise a flag

It is important when simply being, gets you called a dyke or a fag

When you’ve had to fight just to live

And you get hated for the love you give

When in the not-to-distance past there exists a time

When your love was considered an unspeakable crime

When in the present-day people use your name in lies

In hopes that your way of life quits and dies

You become determined to carry on

To meet adversity wholeheartedly and head on

We are united we are strong

We have been marching all along

Keep raging on with your attack

We are resilient we will fight back

You run the risk of sounding quite pathetic

When you go around spouting your uneducated bigotry and hateful rhetoric

If it is a fight you want, a fight you will get

You will not prevail on this I bet

I am a drag queen hear me now

To insults and lies I Do not bow

You will fail in your campaign

I am here to stay with Peace, Love, and Pride I will always reign
