What did you think when you posted those comments?
Be honest
Was it the anonymity
that set you free
to be the man
you wanted to be
while subjugating me?
Let me repeat them back to you
This time
imagine your mum is in front of you
or your sister
or your girlfriend,
God forbid
If you think that’s how you should love her
you haven’t lived.
Loose
Tramp
Take this
Take that
You want a good quiet girl
who won’t open her trap
But who will have it open
at the required moment
eyes wide open
arching her back.
You’ve been brought up on screens
depicting us in this position
You’ve been conditioned to think
we’re bodies without brains
so you can defecate on us with your words
and shroud us in shame
thinking those words
won’t hurt
won’t linger
won’t stay.
Listen to these words
as they fall from my lips
lips the likes of you will never kiss:
One day you’ll be older
wiser, mature
One day you may have a daughter
who you will adore
Now imagine someone your age
calling her a whore
because they think that’s OK
and all she’s good for.
Please strive for more
and think before you speak
because that girl could be any girl
it isn’t just me.
