Poem from excerpts of news articles surrounding the death of Matthew Shepard and the Wyoming State Senate Budget Meeting
tied to a rail fence
on the cold high prairie,
National Outrage
at the Death of a Fairy
“Ordinary, kid”
left to die
The loss "never heals," his father told "Nightline."
A promising young life–
Matthew Shepard
–Cut Short
McKinney left Shepard
to die
The nation mourns
Wyoming remains “deeply defensive”
“The Laramie Project” deemed too expensive
Funeral protested by westboro baptists
“Then they left Shepard
in the cold frigid darkness”
Wyoming state Senate
Wins vote to cut queer
Senators divided
This will make their career
to gain knowledge of
oppression
Educational funding on
Senate discretion
direct our funds in a more–
appropriate manner
–Cut Short
it was passed by a single vote
What are we doing with these courses?
“Senators vote your conscience on this one”
Wyoming constituents stay good and Christian
social justice theories
into service and activism
Can we save our students
from falling for facism
