Wolves and Lambs

This is part of the  radio- play I submitted for BBC African performance Playwriting competition 2010. Obviously, the judges didn't think a play about homosexuality was relevant in the African context.

 A diseased and heartless wolf.

 Perhaps if you play Adolf,

 Fear, like new desire,

Will save me from Hell’s fire.

 Perhaps man will cease to age

And blind Death will slip away! 
 

Perhaps if you let me be:

 Same as you- human and flawed;

 Perhaps if your judgement slowed,

Reason, sweet as teenage thrills,

 Would unmask our high ideals:

 Perhaps-just perhaps, you’d see,

And this night would turn to day. 
 

You’d see through the difference

 That has bred this vast divide.

 If only you’d search inside

 You’d stumble upon the light

 That AM YOU in every right.

 Then we would destroy this fence
