Batty Boys



TransGriot Note: This one is dedicated to all my Jamaican brothers and sisters who are fighting to survive murderous anti-GLBT hatred there

An MKR poem

Batty boys
Antimen
Kill 'em haff dead for their wages of sin

Batty boys
Antimen
Hate speech hurled at us from Jamaican citizens

Batty boys
Antimen
Where's the 'One Love' for my GLBT friends?

Batty boys
Antimen
Jamaican GLBT peeps risking life and limb

Batty Boys
Antimen
Killed 'cause who you love is different from them

Batty boys
Antimen
Transpeeps beat down for being too feminine

Batty boys
Antimen
Don't want us on your island? You can have it, then

Batty boys
Antimen
Not visiting 'till all Jamaicans are respected citizens
