Resplandor de Afecto

What’s normal today
I never even thought about yesterday.
A big bang of souls breaks;
A path less traveled.
Another plane takes off,
Another kid makes their landing.
When they’re born, I’ll hear their cry
When they come out, I’ll hear their cry.

There’s a change
In real progress.
We’re waiting
For a glow of affection.
Waiting for a
Glow of affection,
We’re waiting
For a glow of affection.

Look at the kids laugh.
They know it well,
They know it well...
Look at the kids run.
They can see it,
They can see it...
When they’re born, I’ll hear their cry.
When they come out, I’ll hear their cry.

There’s a change
In real progress.
We’re waiting
For that damn increase.
Waiting for a
Glow of affection.
We’re waiting for a
Glow of affection.

A trans person adjusts
To the idea, to their idea
Of being a woman. AIDS is a
Common pit of sex,
Of sex just because.
Violence in the streets.
Anxiety in bed.
Violence just because...

There’s a change
In real progress.
We’re waiting
For that damn increase.
Waiting...
