The Christian tradition that I belong to instructs me to identify with the marginalized. It tells me that the greatest thing any of us has to offer is love. Using my religion—any religion—as an excuse to harm others is an insult to faith. #EqualityTownHall

My poem "Black Heart of a Mama's Boy" is Poem of the Day on @PoetsBridge. Thanks @BrooklynPoets! #Bronx #PoetryeReads #poetrycommunity
I said nothing. Raised no alarm. Made no protest. I was a good boy, a mama’s boy. Quiet, behaved and loyal. But there is no heart blacker than that of a frightened mama’s boy. I buried him. I buried him alive —Eugene A Melino #PoemoftheDay poetsbridge.org/front/shared…
