Right wing fury
Drowning out reason
And science
Edging out compassion
Making light
Of lives lost
In battles planned
In dark boardrooms
Out of reach of bombs
Ramming down
A mythical
White man
Into the throats
Of broken women
To kill their voices
Shouting: bootstraps!
Freedoms! Zygotes
Are sacred!
Death to the Muslims
And the gays and
Those uppity females
Who don't know
Their places amidst
Our machine-guns.
I don't always agree with all the demands women make, but I am a fweminist and a liberal and I will fight for the human cause with my bare fists. No conservative male chauvenist, right wing christian is going to tell me what I can and can not do. Thank you for this poem.
ReplyDeleteSuperb WWW! It's all there, in so few words, eloquently combined.
