Stop Pretending
Stop pretending
your racism is patriotism
Stop pretending
your sexism is natural
Stop pretending
your homophobia
is healthy heterosexuality
Stop pretending
your religious orthodoxy
isn't xenophobia
Stop pretending
your patriarchalism
doesn't justify
and sanctify
indigenous feminism
Stop pretending
your monotheism
isn't,
once the veil of dualism is lifted,
transparent anthrosupremacism.
Try remembering
that silent gifts,
like grace,
and redemption from hypocrisy,
are a lifetime change process,
salvific journey,
dance into integrity
curiosity
compassion.
