Poem Title:
Poem
I’ve noticed the popular opinion- Aided, of course, by all forms of media From novelizations to song lyrics- That high school boys Are cuter, smarter, and nicer. Now, I’ll be the very first to admit That they get significantly More physically appealing. And I suppose they do get smarter... At playing you. Nice, though? I can count the number Of genuinely nice guys I’ve met On one hand. Oh, I can hear the male indignation now! “Not all men.” No, you’re right, It would be wrong To classify an entire demographic Based on one stereotype. Especially when my opinion Hasn’t been properly researched. That would be like Somebody saying: “All Muslims are terrorists.” But nobody would say anything As far-fetched as that. God seemed like such a nice guy Until you used him To support your prejudices. I’m agnostic. That’s not the same thing as atheist, Which isn’t the same thing as Satanist. I don’t oppose your God. I’m just opposed to any religion That makes me feel oppressed. To any religion That bashes a woman For seeking medical attention News flash! Abortion is actually a very small portion Of what Planned Parenthood offers. “May contain sensitive content Viewer discretion is advised.” Am I censored because my opinions Aren’t socially acceptable, Or because you’re uncomfortable With having your bigoted views stripped away Like my rapist stripped me? Suddenly, an unexpected statistic Emerges from the wings! “What were you wearing?” Oh, I dunno. I was thirteen. So probably a Hello Kitty t-shirt And light-up Sketchers. “Men get raped, too.” No, men get raped. That’s a sentence that belongs On its own, Not tacked onto the end of mine. I’m not worried about female rapists. I’m worried about all rapists, Regardless of gender, Race, age, religion, culture, or sexual preference. I don’t care if you like Asian girls, Short girls, Blonde girls, Old girls, Or guys. Just as long as you don’t like little girls. Pedophilia isn’t a preference, It’s a crime. Oh, I’m sorry, Am I making you uncomfortable? Good. If you don’t feel Completely disgusted right now, You’re a pathetic excuse For a human being. But I won’t say you should die- Because the last time Someone told me to kill myself, I tried. But, yenno, It was just a joke! God, girls take things so seriously. It’s not like any of these Are actual, documented issues, right? No, women are just freaking crazy!
