Hail

All hail the freaks
All hail the ones who wear it on their sleeves
All hail the colorful in dress
the colorful in language
the colorful in flesh
flesh marked in ink and steel
colorful hair flowing in waves
life flowing in broad brush strokes
flowing in song and story
All hail the wild outsiders
wild men and women
and wild beings who refuse categorization
who refuse cultural norms
who refuse stigma
All hail the humanists
All hail the lovers
lovers of life and all who live it
live it fully engaged
live it with eyes open
live it with joyous hearts
All hail the faithful heretics shouting crazed in the night
All hail the manic voices echoing
All hail the truth speakers
truth from within
and truth of the world
truth outside of judgment and bias
truth that resonates in hearts and heads and hands
All hail the great variety that confronts illusions of conformity
that confronts the forced bland narratives
All hail the ones working toward tomorrow
All hail the ones living in the moment
All hail the freaks
