Circus Sorry
A woman should pray. A man should kill. Listen closely. It's women who feel. Men who hate. Listen closely.
Mama singing kids lullaby. Daddy drunk deceiving alibi. For where he's been. And why the neighbor's kid looks like his son's twin.
We perpetuate sexist roles, grown-ups. Grown. Up. That's us, but we don't think for ourselves. We don't create better, wiser institutions for our children. We persist in thinking the best there is, is what is. What's always been. It's bullshit.
What is now should be changed tomorrow. Listen closely. Money, the pursuit of. At the expense of people, nature, values, morals. Necessities should be free always. Listen closely.
A woman should hate all men who hurt her. A man should feel disgust not lust, each time someone hurts her.
A boy should grow up to be gentle. A girl should grow up to be strong. We've got it wrong. Masculine. Feminine. It's he who needs painted on.
Warning signals. Yellow cautionary tape over mouth. Beware of dog sign taped on brow. Hands beat into I'm sorry. Perpetually hand signing lullabies. Listen closely.
