As an Afrocentric feminist who read the “Loose Lips” article (7/29) about the Rev. Willie F. Wilson of Union Temple Baptist Church, I was disgusted with his homophobic meanness, and woman-hating attitude.
I am a black woman of 63. Here is my response in a poem to Rev. Wilson—and to all men who must stop acting like mini-gods with discriminating religious bigotry.
Strappling Good Loving
Stick it in, and stick it out.
Fuck it left, and fuck it right.
Knock the nuts against
A female butt ’til it is
Natural as beating an
African drum.
Change the tune, or change the
Position.
You will discover God Almighty
Made back, and front a gift of
Happiness for man or woman.
Thank you for publishing my thoughts and poem.
