An astir this dimm
she dig train then abscond
that dawn set her part
just round nine o'clock

and she sped into town
but rode back at dusk
met me on this serial port
and funny interlude discretion

with a keystroke to browse
this cockamamie diatribe
while all through a route tonight
yet this flagrant twist ensue  

with her laptop a comrade fair
to find her again
upon this moment of bliss
she rightfully kissed

with a monument there
that touted strikingly tall
like an obelisk affront
an oft-heard prayer.

I want to master my femininity to bring the richest of pleasures to myself and my partner
so that our love-making sends us to a higher consciousness
so that we may create beautiful life in this way

I want to know myself and the human psyche well enough to create an environment in which my children may flourish
where they may become beautifully- energised beings, vibrating with love and joy wherever they go

I want to help heal this world
I want to stand proud when the truth is revealed and the end is near
knowing that I didn't go down without a fight
that I stood for those who wanted it and those that didn't think we needed it
for those that saw
and for the blind

Walking around with pretty Loreal eyes
but something behind them is broken
all the mascara in the world
cannot force your eyes to be open

Throw-away necklaces and bracelets
sparkle bright, dazzle and glisten
all the pretty earrings you own
do not mean your ears will listen

Seeing the world through shutters
too scared to look close up
claiming to be awake
without ever waking up

You may as well wear an eye mask
every hour, every day
and some ear plugs and some handcuffs
every time you pray

You think your life is superior
your little quest to get richer
never bothering to consider
that there lies a bigger picture

Thousands of women and children
exhausted, bleeding and choking
in factories across Asia
so that we may afford cheap clothing

Millions of animals, every day
*****, murdered, hung by their feet
because your taste buds prefer it
because you ‘cannot live without meat’

‘If it were that bad the government would stop it’
blind faith in everything they quote
forgetting they also once allowed slavery
and forbade your grandmother’s vote

If ever you choose to **** yourself
When your head can take no more
Leave the windows open wide
And do not lock the door
So that your death may flee the room
And stain the anguished winds
Let them blow your breath away
And blow away your sins

But have no shame, no sense of guilt
For this thing that you must do
It's better by far to feel no thing
Than to feel nothing but rue
And if you choose to end yourself
Just know that you are right
May you rot inside the earth
As rots away the night
