this is what people
are expected to do
remain silent
to shut up
never question
never speak out
or up
we lived
in a closed system
run by rich men
who care only
about themselves
what changed
after women marched
to protect their right
to abortion
to protect the right to
OWN THEIR OWN BODIES
what changed
after people marched
to end racism
and police brutality
what changed
after children marched
for gun control
and the end to mass school shootings
what changes
when we scream
and show up
NOTHING
nothing has changed
and no one is marching
and they know that we will
eventually
SHUT UP
and go back to the lives
they ALLOW us to have
and not bother them
for awhile
until they take more away from us
and we scream
and march
again
until we all go back to the even smaller
lives we are allowed to have
our lives are
controlled by a few
UGLY
heartless
rich
hateful
dictators
who work in government
or churches
and even some schools
and pass down their
hate
from day to day
greedy
selfish
men*
who live
to control others
and make absolutely sure
that no one ever comes after
THEM

*Women are not exempt. They just don’t have the power to do anything. And many right wing, conservative, women hate women as much as men do. Women are conditioned to hate themselves. That’s the saddest part. Women are taught to hate themselves and compete for resources (men) because they are often forced into poverty, raising children alone, which makes them less able to care for themselves. It keeps women weak, exhausted and often forced to marry, in order to survive. Women are literally forced into dependency. Just as the poor are kept that way as well.
None of the people in charge want equality across the board. The threat is so horrifying to them that they will do anything to keep the power they have over others. Nothing happens by accident. By making women compete against each other, by raising them to accept their lot in life and judge other women, they effectively stop us from being a huge force who could stand against them.
Look at the mess we’re in. Men did this. They are in charge. THIS is the world they made. Violent, ecologically unsound, dying, and filled with greed.
Hey, it’s just my opinion, of course. Others might think extinction of species, never ending war, and all the isms, are just fine.
