To All the World’s Misogynists
The colour of your soap is milky pink.
hey… wash away that venom
acrid spittle on your chin
Deal with your eyes…take out those cataracts
thats blind your view of us..
Control pollut
and polish up your crystal heart
that being dull absorbs no light
And thus can not reflect
on any truths at all…
us.
Scrub hard at all that prejudice
Erase your hatred that contaminates
All natural things that struggle on
This shrinking Earth
Your un-appealing ways
For far too long have whipped at everything
It is consuming you..and killing us
We do not like it.
