The body is a vessel, connected to spirit and mind,
Residing within my mind, manifests these grey eyes,
"Who?" asks the Owl, who is this other being that lives inside,
A vulture circles the city of Thrace, seeking its next meal,
An olive tree creaks.
Whistling through the leaves and branches, the wind whispers:
“Do not hesitate.”
The fire that was once dead burns again,
With a finger pointed towards the red star, I hold the flaming torch,
The seven fires burn ever more,
The snake and the boar rejoice, armor and helm equipped,
I ride my chariot onward.

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.
