“Camps” in rhetoric’s grimy air.
The few new safe do rightly scare.
What’s truly free when it’s parsed out?
Is gratis air breathed without clout?
We reclaim slurs they’ve always used.
Rebrand, disguise as drag; excused.
Tradecraft was how we had to live.
Spies for love without hearts to give.
Not much safer than we were then.
Viewed subversive by faith drunk men.
The Bible doesn’t have our backs.
They tout that god’s what D.C. lacks.
Zeal’s minority toxic rules.
Resist or flee; our lonely tools.
