Time Eases All
Gabriel Duncan

i wear it on my shoulder
just like a flag
like a chip of a rainbow
just like a badge

when i hear them say it
it's hurts the part inside
that was used to being deaf
and blind to hide

i think of what i fought for
what our awareness has become
a faggot is meant for burning
nigger's still in our lexicon

it doesn't mean the same thing to them
as it does to us today
we're part of the history
their filthy mouths betray

if they fought beside us then
as much as they stand aside to today
maybe then they'd see the reason
it hurts so much today
