Raleigh Gay Cruising Spots

Since no sane talk, talk crazy.

I, a madman who has loved his folly,
Yes, more than the wise men their books, bags and quiet home
Or their fame in men's mouths.

A fool that in all his life has never made a prudent thing
has never counted the cost, nor recked if another reaped
The fruit of his mighty sowing, content to scatter the seed

A fool that is unrepentant , and soon the end of all
laugh in his lonely heart as the ripe ears fall to the reaping
And the poor are filled that were empty,
Although he go hungry.

I have squandered the splendid years that the Lord gave to my youth
attempting impossible things, deeming them alone were worth
Was it folly or grace? Only God will judge me, not men ...

I have squandered the splendid years.
Oh God, if I had shed the years again,
Christ, fling me
For this I heard in my heart that a man must
scatter, not hoard, Shall do the deed
today, did not care for the morning
You should not negotiate or bargain with God;
Or was it a jest of Christ
And this is my sin before men, having taken the floor?

The shysters have sat in council,
men with long faces and lists,
And they said, `This man is crazy"
And others have said: "blasphemous".
And the wise have pitied the fool who has striven to give life
(In the world of space and time, between the bulks of actual things)
To a dream that was dreamed in the heart, and that only the heart can

contain

O wise men, riddle me this: what if the dream is true?
If the dream is accomplished, and millions unborn shall dwell in the house
I did in my heart,
the noble house of my thought?

Lord, I have staked my life, I staked the lives of my people
On the truth of Thy dreadful word

not remember my failures, But remember this my faith.

And so I speak.
Yea, ere my hot youth pass,
I speak to my people and say:
You have to be crazy like me: scatter, not save;
venture your all, not lose what is most of all, You have to claim
a miracle, taking Christ at His word

And so I will answer, O my people,
I will respond now and then. Oh
people they have loved, why not meet together?
