Every step along
history’s way, it has been
about threatened men —
holding women back,
keeping a woman on her back;
reeking havoc on all gays,
harkening back to good old days
when men were men
and women wouldn’t offend.
It actually predates all those days
of corralling women and harassing gays.
It goes back to a primordial time
when men thought only of
populating the world with their own kind,
so all this moral outcry about abortion
is simply about men not getting their portion.
So, in 2016, we think we are so up-to-date,
but primordial and then Neanderthal man,
but certainly not Homo Sapien man
which means “the wise man,”
out of fear of being
cut off, reaches out in hate,
and acts out of hate
and, so we see that men’s fears
are eons old
but, most unfortunately
and oh, so tragically,
still completely up-to-date.
