A poem about the trials of a gay man in the early 21 Century.
Why are you questioning me when I know that I’m gay
And you just want to punish me anyway?
Why are you questioning me when I’ve given you all the time when I know that it may seem like lies
But this is just how the world is.
Why are you questioning me when I know
That I’m right.

Why are you questioning me when we have made a mistake?
I’m sorry that it’s cursed to tell what we do know on paper, and
Why is it that way?

Why are you questioning me?
BeyoncĂ©, “why is that…”?

Why are you questioning me?
All I want to do is love you.

Why are you questioning me when I have more broken bottles on the floor?
I’ve grown languid from your enthusiasm.

Why are you questioning me?
When I have all the energy in hand.

Why are you questioning me when all is about love?
Why are you questioning me?

Why are you questioning me?
When I know a time must come?

Why are you questioning me?
Why are you questioning the question mark.

Why are you questioning me?
Oh Yeah! Of good faith.

Why are you questioning me?
We need complacent politics.
We need people who just get the job done.

Why are you questioning me?
I know our government is terrible.
(2012)

Why are you questioning me?
Why are you questioning my skills?

I’m the one who has heard “No Church In The Wild”.

Why are you questioning me?
I am poetry.

Why are you questioning me?
I love knowing.

Why are you questioning me?
I just need to find more productive ways to communicate with you.

Why are you questioning me?
I am the man from before.
