oh god, another uppity woman


you see

i can be free

because i’m a man

 

i can walk around

at midnight

drunk

 

write my views

for all to review

 

and i’m considered an artist

 

but let a woman express herself

 

dare to NOT make her sole desire be

the pleasure of a man

 

and she is, well,

incomprehensible

 

religion controls women

but sets men free

 

politics control women

but sets men free

 

societies control women

but sets men free

 

don’t rise above your station

don’t leave a man to masturbation

 

even when you bleed

your place is to satisfy my need

 

don’t behave inappropriately

and embarrass yourself

 

let’s throw a party

put you on the shelf

 

in the back room

we won’t call it rape

but we can make money

if it’s video taped

 

know your place

don’t act out

don’t dance to music

don’t scream and shout

 

check with your man

to know who you are

be what i need

and earn a gold star

 

don’t speak out

don’t learn and discern

witches not warlocks

are the ones we burn

 

adam clothed in perfect nature

occupation nomenclature

but then a woman made him fall

and sufferings all we recall

 

so let me blame you for my sin

it’s all your fault i just can’t win

the clothes you wear make me stumble

self expression isn’t humble

 

be my bitch and scratch my itch

then teach our daughters how to stitch

 

macramé and stay at home

i’ll fight the war all on my own

against a culture that denies

a woman’s right as we imply

 

(but let’s not get carried away)

be proper, even at play

but don’t ever expect a day

when who you are you may be

learn how to properly please

whatever i say pleasing me to be
