Protesting the Protesters

Holdin' up your big bad signs

holier-than-thou programmed mimes

thinkin' that you can define

all that God has had in mind.

You trying to hate us into love

for the Righteous One above

but you can't do that with a shove

but with the peace of the holy dove.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just sayin'

you ain't on your knees, no you ain't prayin'

instead you're seriously dismayin'

with all your hate filled displayin'.

The signs read "Its YOU God Hates!"

Yet its God's name you desecrate

with a hate filled heart you lay in wait

to beat with Bibles, to scream and berate.

It don't take Einstein's big brain

to tell you that this crazy campaign,

this marketing of religious disdain

ain't God's way, but quiet insane.

So I'm protesting YOU today

don't matter if we're straight or gay

God can keep the haters at bay

so we only see HIM and find our way.

Dear Lord, I pray.

To the Moon, I say Thank You

You were my saving grace,
I adored your space
And  your embrace
I could never replace.

You made me more
Than what I was before
You opened the door
Made me want to explore.

Suddenly I was alright
I knew more than fright
And during the night
I could see the light.

You carried my weight
My own soul mate
You didn’t berate
You helped me create.

And when it was time
 I was in my prime
No longer sublime
But I could climb.

Then you let me go
At first a big blow
But determined to show
That I too could glow.

I became so tenacious
So completely vivacious
Absolutely audacious
My heart felt so gracious

Cause now I can fly
I can touch the sky
I don’t ask why
You had to say goodbye.

It was your affection
Your loving protection
Your heart connection
Gave me a new resurrection.

AND I SAY THANK YOU.

To My Rainbow Family......Love Big Butch

My Rainbow Brothers

love you like no others

hiding undercover

from daddies and mothers.

You want to shout

Hell, I want out!

I'm a dyke and a queer

and I'm gonna say here...

I don't wanna cram it

in your face but dammit!

Always tryin' to hide

thinkin' 'bout suicide.

See family fall away

givin' up every day

Self destructive 'til it hurts

tired of bein' covert.

So I slice and I drink

'til I can't feel, can't think.

They say I need a savior

that who I am is deviant behavior.

But its time to say ENOUGH!

To call their hand, to call their bluff

To live out loud, to say "Its me!"

I wanna live, to just be free.

I want to love as my heart demands

the same as you, can you understand?

Just step away, just let me be

I've got a soul, a name you see.

Keep in mind this one final thing

that when you hate, God's name don't bring

Into the talk, the conversation

'Cause God and hate have no relation.

To my Rainbow Kin,

don't let hate in,

shake your head and grin

We know who we are within.

So Let's Begin......

WE ARE NOT A SIN

Big Butch's Anthem

Big Butch, Big Butch barking at the dark

Big Butch, Big Butch tryin' to make your mark.

Tryin' to keep your own, trying to take a stand.

Diggin' up your bone, buried in the sand.

Maybe not a pureblood stock, but somethin' mighty grand,

only one of your kind, your own special brand.

Keep trying hard Big Bad Butch,

keep your nose to the ground

Remind them that your big bad bark

can be really quiet profound.

Have your say in your own way, its the only way to flow

You're gonna be someone Butch, in your heart this you should know.

Painting My Own Canvas

You tell me who I can love
And who I’m supposed to hate
Then you say you love me,
Sorry, its too little to late.

You paint a picture
With hope for just a few
Then you live your life pretending
The rules don’t apply to you.

I want my own canvas
I want to paint my own truth
Is it too much to ask?
I’ve been begging since my youth.

You say our bond is personal
You encourage me to pray
Yet when he speaks to me softly
You jump in the way.

Get away from my canvas
I don’t want you in the scene
Alone he is so beautiful
I don’t intend to sound so mean.

But you tried to take him away from me
As if he was yours to give
Why can’t you just step away
And let me live as I want to live?

I not a simple heathen
I’m not out to break his heart
I grew up in church, like you,
We both had the same honest start.

Do you think I wanted to be different?
To forsake all I had known and loved?
To look up the heavens in defiance
And say “screw you” to the One above?

Could you stop to consider
For one moment, for just one day
That maybe God the Artist
Created me this way.

Then handed me his brush
And stepped off to my side
And said “let me see your world as you see it,
Let me along for the ride.”

Then I stepped to the canvas
His brush firmly in my grasp
And I painted a little puppy
Playing in the grass..

His smile so full of mischief
His eyes so full of love,
And watching from a treetop
A gentle, holy dove.

Looking at our portrait
With an artist’s interpretive eye,
“Well done,” God said with understanding
And a deep satisfied sigh.

“Today you’ve painted your canvas,
And made the angry voices cease,
Blended the colors of your faith
And turned your rage into my peace.” 

God is Bustin' a Rhyme

And in the news today.....

(Announcer)

"We have received a press release from Heaven. Apparently God is Bustin' A Rhyme...."

Hey my people under the steeple

With a holy book in your hand.

Thinkin' you're all that, makin' love combat

Believin' its your place to take command.

Give me back my religion, it isn't your decision

who I choose to love or forgive.

You think that you know me, but let me say Homie

its up to me how people live.

It ain't all about fire although I admire

your attempt to save them from that fate

But if they can't discover that I am like no other

they'll not know that I love instead of hate.

So lets take a break and then partake

of some re-education of your heart

go back to the beginning, to the first inning

and get to know me from the start. 

I'm really kinda fly, an omnipotent holy guy

the Creator of all your in your space.

so give me a chance to start a worldwide dance

and take all my kids in an embrace. 

So everybody chill and then fulfill

the one command I gave to you

love each other and your earth mother

and let all your souls spring anew. 

I'm out.....

"LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"

To The Church of Intolerance.

Here I am.

I don't back down.

You want a piece?

  You're white as fleece?

But I'm worth hate

I can't relate,

Don't educate,

Don't repopulate.

Cause your message is wrong

an empty song,

I don't belong,

I won't go along.

Cause you love in stages

in different phases.

You put us in rages,

in emotional cages.

 I'm supposed to believe

in these lies you conceive,

In these ways you deceive

Do I look that naive?

But I know the truth.

I'm an amazing sleuth.

So I'll make my own way

Won't be led astray. 

I pray.

Rainbow Swirl

Don't cha take it Big Dyke

stupid sh*t can take a hyke

Throw it down Big Dyke

crazy fools aren't all alike.

Tell 'em, tell 'em, Big Dog

put their minds in a fog

Do it, do it, Big Dog

put the lyric in the blog.

Spread the word, Big Gyrl

make the truth unfurl

Paint their minds, Big Gyrl

with a Big Rainbow Swirl. 

       I say amen....Amen....AMEN........

BIG BUTCH Dreams That God Writes More Commandments

Dear Children,

Apparently 10 Commandments didn't clarify things well enough for you, so I have added ten more.

11. Let God be God. I'm pretty good at it. You are not.

12. I and Judge Judy are pretty good judges. You...not so much, so stop acting like one.

13. Show respect for ALL my creation. I wasn't necessarily looking at your species when I said "it is good".

14. It really is okay to think outside the box. Your head won't explode.

15. Allow me to be big enough for everyone. Contrary to popular opinion, I don't just visit Baptists on Sunday.

16. Don't assume you know everything about me. You know what they say about those who ass-u-me.

17. Hypocrites and holier-than-thou people have always ticked me off. Don't be one.

18. Remember that I made trees to bend in the wind so they will continue to stand strong in the stillness. Just like trees, rigid beliefs will break.

19. The next time you treat someone else in a way that you wouldn't want to be treated, smack yourself.

20. The next time you decide to get on your soapbox or high horse, remember that if you trip on your own tongue, its a long way to fall. Just get on your knees instead.

Until next time....

God

BIG BUTCH is Gonna Be Okay...

 

I’m gonna be okay, come what may, someday
Gonna fight, with all my might, until I see sunlight.
Believe in me, not gonna flee, until I see the victory.

F@*k the doubters, pouters, scouters
Who wait for me to lie, to die, to say goodbye
Can’t feed on me, on my debris, I’ve got the victory.

I’m gonna be okay, come what may, someday
Gonna fight with all my might, until I see sunlight
Believe in me, not gonna flee, until I see the victory. Guarantee.

MOMMA BUMP Busts a Rhyme

This was written for BIG BUTCH's buddy who I now refer to Momma Bump now that she is starting to show her little baby bump. It is the epitome of stupid, but it made her laugh. That makes me happy. I am always willing to look stupid for a good laugh. 

My baby Bump, my tummy lump,
caused by my hunk, puts me in a funk
don't tell me that... I look so fat
cause I'll take a bat upside yo' hat.

One day I know, my Bump will grow
then I will squirt, and it will hurt
I'll scream and holla' at Bump's big fatha'
he'll run & hide, 'til you outside.

Then he'll come in, and I will grin
you made me puke, but you so cute
you look like me, we do agree
So I'll forgive, and you will live.



I'm out.

--Momma Bump

BIG BUTCH's Mad Skilz Barista Rap

I'm a bad gay barista and a sweet sista
slingin' that coffee every day.
Findin' it boring, steaming and pourin'
Lookin' to pass the time away.

So I spot me a honey lookin' for her money
and checkin' out my coffee menu.
I say "Like something hot, that'll hit the right spot.
May I make a suggestion or two."

How ‘bout a quad shot espresso, baby can we wrestle
Oops! Did I say that out loud?
Don’t mean no disrespect, but baby holy heck!
I could spot you in the biggest coffee crowd.

Then my mad barista skilz sends her body some thrills
and with a sneaky dyke grin I look her way.
And with my sweet southern drawl her white mocha I do call
And then I can hear the people say....

She's a mad skilz barista and a sweet sista
slingin' that coffee for her pay.
Pleasin' the honeys with steamed milk and some funnys
and makin' most of the bux barista way.

Bow Wow Wow Wow (Big Butch Barks Back Rap)

Bow wow wow wow, you'll like my style

Big Butch Barks Back, you'll see

Markin' my place, don't piss in my space

and we'll make good company.

I got my ways, keeps my mind in a haze

but brings a fine smile to your face

I must admit, I'm full of bullshit

but I'm not very easy to replace.

So when I tell a story, fresh like morning glory

Think twice before you think its gospel fact

The twinkle in my eye reveals I'm really kinda sly

and in the head I'm just a little whacked. 

So Bow wow wow wow, don't have a holy cow

Its just a joke to make you laugh and smile

Don't be so serious, don't hurt to be delirious 

Just try not to step in my turd pile.

Big Butch's Financial Savings Plan

 

In these hard economic times, we must all find ways to conserve.  After much thought, Big Butch has come up with the following solutions:

1. Turn the heat down to 60 degrees. Instead wear sweat pants and let the chihuahua sleep inside...Immediate heating pad.

2. Turn the water heater down considerably. Cold water wakes you up and makes you hurry up as well. If you need warm water, the fish aquarium is at a steady 75 degrees.

3. If your tropical birds are too cold once the heat is turned down, let the cat sleep with them. One of two things will happen: 1) Both will be cozy 2) You won't have to worry about the problem anymore.

4. Cancel all premium Direct TV Channels and hide the remote from the dog. He'll not be able to order doggie porno at the push of a button while you are at work. That stuff costs money.

5. Negotiate with the pets to eat less. If they refuse to cooperate, remind them that there is a food chain and you are at the top. 

6. Let the guinea pigs graze in the yard. You won't have to buy as many veggies and less gas for the lawn mower.

7. Turn off the computer when not in use. The more time Fluffy spends on Facebook, the more electricity is used.

8. Instead of buying hairspray or gel, thoroughly wet your hair until dripping, lay down with the cat and take a nap. When you wake up, the cat will no longer be dehydrated, and your hair will be styled. (Be sure to leave
a hair magazine close by to give the cat some ideas on the latest hairstyles).

9. Turn off all lights. If you need to move around the house, grab the tale of the nearest dog or cat. They can see in the dark.

10. Cancel your security system. Inform the animals to bite anyone who drops by without bringing money or food and install a spike strip stolen from your local police station in your driveway.
