@ 27.055 MHz: Ad Astra; Horrifically Speculative, This Is No Mere Science Fiction Tale
Do not laugh at this speculation;
it carries the trump of probability.
Crying, "Remember January Sixth,"
which sometimes sounded like a madman's plea,
the thugs and haters sought to wipe out buggery
(as they called it), and efforts to deploy
their prejudice against any slender or lithe,
long-haired, and shoeless or barefoot adolescent boy
who might be suspected having discovered that his nature
was "homosexual"---a word, a nomenclature
the gathered thugs, bullies and haters could not understand
fully; but simply and ignorantly despised and hated
all who loved or were loved "that way."
Thus they gathered to demand
that all such young men be eradicated
by mass extermination.
