They will say...



Inspired by Owen Jones quite rightly walking out of this disgraceful attempt to appropriate the LGBTQ community's tragedy to further an Islamophobic agenda

They were just dancing. They were just kissing.
They will say that they were shot because they were dancing.
They will say that they were shot because they were kissing.
They will say that love is love is love
but we know that is not all.

They were shot because they were people like us, dancing.
They were shot because they were people like us, kissing.
They were shot because they were people like us, loving.
But they will not say that, because

they want us to have so little
they will lay claim to the enormities
committed against us,
and even as we suffer

they will colonise our pain.
