Campaigning Strategy

Transphobia is a virus,

That spreads in speeches,

Coated with the sugar of tradition,

Masking the poison within.

The grey vote sought,

With promises whispered, 

In hushed tones of nostalgia,

While denying others breath.

Silent nods to a past unkind,

Clutching to ghosts that blind,

Blind to the vibrant present,

Where truth seeks to unwind.



In shadows, they conspire,

Lighting a fire of fear,

Hoping to burn bridges built,

By hands intertwined in hope.

Yet in those hopeful hearts,

And hands intertwined by hope, 

A different song sings, 

Stronger than any wrong: 

Where love knows no bounds, 

And every soul belongs.
