I wrote this poem, in response to some very nasty pm's from men, on Yahoo. Being that I have a wicked sense of humour, I went OVERBOARD in retaliation...well maybe, not retaliation, but I felt that responding to their silly stereotypes with some of my own stereotypes, would be fair play...It just so happens that Sacred Songspace has an interesting newchallenge...one has to compose a poem about something, that incites/inflames....and even more interesting, my friend
Karen, has a very interesting and provocative blog post...soooooooo...sometimes ya just have to laugh...by the way, I have decided to self-publish through Amazon; this poem will be in the book, which is titled, "Beyond the Veil"...
I,
Am accused of female misogyny,
Of abusing the XY segment of the human race,
And belittling ego/id/dick, Western driven, and implied superiority.
I stand accused of slandering their lives and sexcentric identities,
Of trivializing their historical contributions and revisions,
And snickering at midlife absurdities and flaccid senior sensibilities.
I stand accused of reviling their petty blood engorged man things,
Laughing at pretenses of civil behaviors,
And revealing the practice and perversity of legal hypocrisies.
I stand accused of mocking the arrogant, swaggering gaits,
Of deriding justifications of bullying jingoism,
And exaggeration of their chauvinistic excesses.
I stand accused of misrepresenting their familial obligations,
Making false accusations of forgotten, unsupported, clandestinely begotten children,
And questioning their inbred, tribalistics identities.
I stand accused of misunderstanding their contextual violence,
Misconstruing the limitless capacity for domination,
Of ignoring religiously given man rights,
and not comprehending a woman’s place.
I. Am. Guilty. As. Charged.
