Elucidating Questions

Are you a man spreader?

I wonder these things. How many nasty man habits forged out of patriarchy and gender roles have rubbed off on you?

Are you dangerous like all the others?

Have you touched people you shouldn’t have like all the others?

Oh, you say not all,

I say such a small percentage that it doesn’t even count

How many millions more live their lives freely because of the silence of their victims?

I wonder.

You say 1 in 4, I say billions more are silent.

I wonder if you’re a good one

I don’t have much hope these days

It’d take a few years to find the hope in me

My mum says it’s just that bad ones are louder

I think that good lost the battle long ago and we’re standing on that sweet, sweet, edge before the plummet to the end

Lucky that we don’t have to live a life once this disgusting society is done raping the Earth.

I believed we could stop it when I believed in everything

Yeah so I wonder how much you contribute to the general men being toxic shits thing.

I don’t know anything about you

Who you are

What you do

I can wish on every star and eye lash but I won’t know until a miracle happens

What a day that would be.

Until then I’m left wondering

Are you a good one?

Or are you part of the bad billions?
