Premium MemberBeauty Becomes Us

When anthro-privileged consumers
of massive monotheistic miscommunications
replace faith in compassionate StatesMen 
and bipartisan StatesWomen
with vainglorious hope
for straight white supremacist BusinessMen

Then what might have been a healthy 
polycultural democracy
has now become just another nationalistic 
monoculturing kleptocracy.

Sacred EarthMother
does not define
what matriarchal yin Beauty is,
and yet S/He seems to refine
what patriarchal yang Ugly is not.

we are taught to be complicit in our own dehumanization

i was good,
though i was born with mens eyes
crawling on my skin like ants, 
following me through the grocery store. 
i was good, i was 5 the first time 
i was told to close my legs, 
sitting on the couch the same 
way as my brothers, 
told not to "distract" my brothers, 
it wasn't ladylike

Premium Membermanufactured girls

We’re manufactured girls,
designed to be beautiful and pointless.

Everything we tell you has to be true,
we feel we can open up to you.

We’re decorated and prepared for sacrifice.

We can touch your tender isolation
and reinforce your inadequate truths.

We can mirror your internal struggles
and help you shape your damnation.

You’ve caressed our powerless distress
a thousand times, with sleep's dark

*********** As A Dehumanizing Force to Women

My wife told me yesterday, that she believes that women today have achieved equality both politically and socially and that nothing further needs to be done on the issue of women's rights. I agreed with her that women today are in
a better situation than they were 50-60 years ago. 
But when the topic of ***********

Premium MemberThe Least Racist Person Is a Racist

The least racist person is a racist
The least fascist person is a fascist
The least criminal is a murderer
The least sinner is a big sinner.

The least lawbreaker is a criminal
The least murderer is an animal
The least bad guy is a con artist
The least racist guy is a big racist.

Hell is full of bad guys
Heaven has none

Premium MemberA Nation of Cowards

Powerful words,
Truthful words,
Honest words,
Brave words;
This is exactly what the Doctor orders,
For a nation, who's trying to fight the horrors
Of blatant racism,
Unfairness, injustice,
Nepotism and sexism.
A man of Peace,
Without controversies,
Is not a genuine activist.
The truth is being tolled; there is no reason to apologize,
‘Cause you're exercising your God-given rights.
The sickness, the maladies,
Which America has been suffering
For over

Premium MemberWhy Some People Hate

Some people hate because they do not know how to love.
I feel sorry for them; I wonder if they were ever loved.
But can I help them? No.
They have to figure out love for themselves.

It is easy to recognize these non-lovers.
Their sentences begin this way
I hate ….
I hate ….
I hate …..

I am not talking just three

Premium MemberShirley Generalizes People

Shirley is a professional generalizer of people.
Rapidly slinging out stereotypes.
All blacks….
All Kansans….
All men…
All Irish….
All Asians…
All city dwellers….
All children….
All whites….
All teachers….
All Ukrainians….
All firemen….
All thieves….
All women…
She blames everyone in Portland for bad weather.
She says all Danish bake muffins in the morning
Her generalizations have alienated most of her co-workers
Her bosses use her to shorten people’s lunch breaks

In Both Ways

Vag inas  are for men
and not that bad
Respect goes both ways
and meant to add

So how is your possession
gonna help you now
When women are forever
and men for wow

That all of your ambition
is shared both ways
And carrying your love
back to better days

When women said you're born
And not to sway
From loving them forever
and in both ways

The Temptation of Hartley-Brewer

Oh Julia, Julia Hartley-Brewer,
I touched her knee when I hardly knew her.
A punch was threatened in my face
And in due course I fell from grace.

On Question Time her face occurred,
I hung upon Julia’s every word,
Her eyes emit intentions amorous,
Her knees quite hidden from those cameras.

I dreamt of her in see-through blouses,
Sliding fingers down my trousers,
A

A Conversation With Cinderella

(Cinderella is the protagonist of the 1697 fairytale by Charles Perrault. The whimsical tale is later told in 1812 by the Grimm brothers.)

“Why, if it isn’t my dear Cinderella,
That twinkle in your eyes, still bright as your ballroom days,
In your smile I still see the sweetness of Nutella,
And in your glow some golden summer rays.”

“How

Chill

No, I'm not saying sorry
For standing up for me
And I'm done being worried
For saying what I need
If you can't handle the truth, then
You can leave 'cause I'm not movin'
'Cause we're fighting this battle
And refuse to be losin'
You ask, Can I relax?
Can I ignore it and move on?
But I'm telling you, "No,"
I won't tolerate these wrongs

Sexism
Growing up we’ve  always thought people were born with a disgusted look on their faces
Because that’s how they have always looked at us
Boxes

People don’t know we hid between people like we do
They don’t swich and twitched  activitly make decisions of which
Which part of us do we have to change

Goldilocks Now

But, my friend said, if Goldilocks was alive today her story would be different:
we’re just so used to the fairy tale message, the simplified right and wrong of it.

Women today are too afraid to walk the streets at night,
let alone enter a house with three grizzlies hidden out of sight.
And if a girl is attacked
