Behind the Pride-22.2 percent of the chance

It is all the lights shining bright

celebration of all –their birth right

The others say they are the blight

But they are not here to pick up the fight

The proud display has a shade behind

22.2 percent of the chance

The chance of expression

and living out your truth in the open

and maybe a lifetime of depression

Humanity seems broken

The right to life as designed

The law in 43 countries unspoken

43 countries criminalise

There it go your 22.2 percent

Being gay is illegal implies

It should be all really about consent

I hope we will redefine

system that would equally represent

It’s all rainbow and glitter

For a boomer or outsider

I do not mean to sound bitter

I just want to open hearts wider

22.2 is a message from divine

representing hope not a divider

They think they can ban a rainbow

That will help and cease

The Human nature we have always known

They think they can police

Ignorant with no control over design

The love is unconditional, the love is peace....

* based on 193 countries, 43 criminalise this community. Pride is about those who cant express themselves freely without worrying about their safety and with every parade we reinforce the message. It is all about love.
