Poem
Many men will hate me for shining light on this touchy subject And women will inevitably want to throw me under a bus But as sure as a virus is the root of a pandemic This subject has breached our hull and is now leaking into us Was it not inevitable this would happen to a culture? Like roving hoards and idealogy will subjugate the weak Our religion, arts, and cultural stories now eclipsed by flashy images And our perceptions of who we are now come from commercial TV I can image what it was like to be viewed as a witch on trial And I realize I’m opening myself to the most soul-withering scrutiny But most every man you meet has struggled with this very issue And the long and short of this message is this is not about me Perhaps my fear of women fuels my longing for power And in this fantasy world nothing ever goes wrong for me Or perhaps I should say that’s true until the show is over Then I drown my empty feeling in the asylum of sleep There are women I know, cherish and respect in my own way Who I would not touch if I could, because they are my friends But when I see these women performing these acts on video It will make me sad because somewhere, someone cherishes them I can imagine the judgment from those now reading this message And the chasm of alienation caused by this impossible fantasy world Propaganda so sophisticated even the Nazis would be jealous Incinerating the innocence of so many boys and girls With every view, these women are banished further away from me But is it possible that all along that was my very goal? I don’t understand them, and they don’t understand me And sometimes I have to wonder if I hate their very souls Then I think of women that inspire me like Shakespeare Who I would without hesitation give my life to save theirs Then I wonder if their man has his own hidden porno stash And is imprisoning their ‘lady’ in a cell of hopeless fears I do not wish to plant a seed of doubt in the minds of women For many men say they do not find pornography appealing In many cases I guess these guy’s brains are wired differently And regarding this widespread religion, I think many are not even lying
