Autumn has come and gone, but my status has not changed

 

Autumn has come and gone, but my status has not changed.

“I asked my black queer

And I inquired of my untouchable queer

If their status changed in society,

My queer friend replied to me

Spring has arrived and gone.

Summer has arrived and gone.

Autumn has arrived and gone.

Winter has arrived and gone.

But their status has not changed.

 

They asked about my status if I changed

I replied to them I do have the same status as they do.

 

No season has altered my situation.

No one changed my status.

 

No amount of spirituality changed my status.

No religion changed my status.

No icon changed my status.

No champion of civil rights changed my status.

 

I replied to them

All civil rights champions are

Masculinities and feminities that are hegemonic

But I didn't respond to them.

 

My status is always sub-human status

No matter what season comes and goes”
