Other Worldly Accusations
Few people listen to our words
Because we are just men
“Years of oppression, for what?”
Commonly asked by women
But now, it will be by us men
From where we stand all of our
Military service and building society
All of it was for nought
And what we ought to have?
Women who insist it is unfair
But they pick the benefits
An all you can eat buffet
A buffet of privileges
Without the responsibilities
“Equal pay! Equal rights!”
But where are those equal fights
For the men that unequally work all night?
Working class jobs,
Comfortable jobs,
That is their form of equality.
No one says anything about oil riggers.
Not a word about bricklayers.
But we are for equality, right?
They shout equality, but being a man is inherently toxic?
They defer our fathers, but they are the perpetual victims?
And yet, we are wrong and beyond redemption?
The solution for their fantasy, in their eyes
To end, not change, society
Boycotting reproduction and lowering standards.
You lose family,
You lose what you had,
By “looking out for yourself and others.”
Now indirectly harming yourself and others
In the name of feminism
That was never looking out for you in the first place.
But what do I know?
I’m just a man.
