Poem
...But there exists a much broader hate, half the species, you see, do not rate. I’m talking, of course, about the men, how we’re seen as less next to women, that our basic masculinity is portrayed as criminality, save for working women on the rise, it’s okay for girls to act like guys. The TV and the cinema screens portray men as fools, or sexists mean, like we would be helpless without girls… Even though we built this friggin’ world. in the courts we get the rawer deal, and the consequences are quite real. Man sleeps with a student, twenty years, a woman does it, probation and tears… We can be accused at any time of abuse and acts truly malign, and even if there’s no evidence we still get punished, that makes no sense! Near half of domestic battering is done by women fond of punching, knowing that we can never hit back, that most forms of real recourse we lack. Yet we’re still the ones sent off to die, on our taxes government relies since we’re still doing most of the work, and for all this we get cast as jerks? We’re told to know the feminist cause, when in truth they should act more like us, so there would be rationality and some place for commonality. But all such thoughts seem like a fools hope, politicos love the women’s vote, in society man-hate ingrained, allows this bigotry to remain. The most pernicious is jealousy of the people who work and succeed, the ones who go out and innovate get saddled with socialistic hate. Be it a newly minted billionaire, or a working fellow who takes care, they get slurred as monsters made of greed, and stolen from with loud claims of ‘need.’ Some look at them and they cry out theft, but I’ve seen no entrepreneur yet who got rich by taking things by force from the pockets the struggling poor, never seen then force these folks to buy what they’re selling in their stores inside, since in this county commerce is choice, that’s a sticking point you can’t avoid. But this fact is lost on simple finds, and the corrupt politicians find it’s easier to get four more years if you lie and saw what they want to hear. Now people go out and they attack the folks who pay their hand-outs through tax, and invent the tech that we live on, and keep going until it’s all gone. It’s the real plague hurting out nation, this cruel merit discrimination, to hurt the productive is insane, yet it’s a bigotry that remains.
