Pride ain't nothing with this MJ and Prince throwback!

By Austin TruongPublished 5 years ago • 2 min read

Michael Brought me a flamboyancy that

I strive to smooth criminal slide it

There's nothing more divine

than the swoon worthy kin

of Princes from the land.

He won our hearts.

So yes his story is jesus murky

and how do i feel as a child sex abused.

really think of.

well shit it's complicated.

So 1. Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson

alright let's go

number 2. is ain't no mountain high enough by

Marvin Gaye

yes it's a bop

dance

and get all groovy and take us twirl in

yes giremember the day you were set free

when you were contined for in community

when your name as it passes on matters

when i called 5150

i only knew i had no one

and i spent so much time thinking about how one can break another being.

you poison their skin seeping in white supremacy pouring it down the throats of children.

so can we please be there for each other?

phew. dark one.

ok 3.more than a woman by the Bee Gees

i only dream for happiness

that's trans rights and liberation right there

dreaming for happiness

and the willingness of just saying you want it

'cause you deserve happiness

as a womxn to me.

4. all night long - lionel ritchie

it's corny but come call

seduce your romantic side

make yourself lvoe you man

you are also worth the sexy grueling work

of digging deep

into who you are

and what you manifest yourself to be.

5. don't go breaking my heart - elton john

dont do it

don't cheat on your vows to yourself

stay commited

and communicate when you can't

6.you give love a bad name. - bon jovi

sf nonprofits must i say more.

7. what a feeling by irene cara

enjoy that enjoy that gentle rock

of being in love.

8. happy birthday by stevie wonder

cause everyday living

is everyday about to die

live and love by it

keep your spirits off the streets

and into a place where they can rest too
