How I’d like to be a Republican
doing God’s work
fighting for the cause
in love
I’d like to be George W.
transparent intelligence
make the course, stay the course
the exit strategy is there is no exit
only submission is possible
I could be leader of the free and righteous world
Women as Christians
Men as Muslims
battling out
the war against terror conquered by tyranny
we will prevail, my sisters
come bloodshed, theirs and ours,
no matter—
the cause is just

When you emailed this to me I didn’t think of it in terms of dating. I just though you were Womyn’s Lib in a quirky sort of way.

Sigh. I told you that you were fighting the good fight, that as a Gay man, you are like a faithful Christian living in a Muslim country. I think I was perfectly clear.

Have you changed you meditations? Are you having delusions or other kind of weird perceptions? Or maybe it is some other you that took control of the keyboard.
Well written text my friend very well
