"photoshops" poems
There are women against feminism And I really don't get that Feminism is about equal rights for men and women And without that I would spend my life suffering through the remark "Get back to the kitchen" Because it wouldn't be my place to deny that And little girls would grow up With their purpose in life to be To look pretty And have children Without feminists I would grow up and never get the chance to vote Without feminism It wouldn't matter if I had an education As long as I looked good enough to get a husband Isn't there something wrong with that And feminism is around today Because some men still look at women as objects Because women can't dress nice Without a male seeing it as an invitation Because women who have *** are ***** But guys who have *** are praised Because women get paid less than men Feminism still exists because so does inequality And men don't think I'm blaming you I'm blaming the society That uses a woman's body to sell anything from burgers To perfumes I'm blaming the society That constantly photoshops women I'm blaming the society That blames the victim I'm blaming the society That makes women believe feminism is wrong

Feminism
It's that time of the year again Our politicians put on a new persona Nothing new compared to the previous gimmick Decade old cliched stuff, on the repeat. A costly road ahead with a hefty expense Back-channels, bargains and deals , none can comprehend Funding is secured, the plans are now been drawn Delegation to the foot-soldiers, with ease and control The demography and previous trends have all been accounted War-rooms being set up, as the arsenal needs to be surmounted. Minute by minute, hour by hour The ***** games and abuse of power Horse trading has begun, The influential will re-run Money, honey or even the hard ways Just break the loyalty and build pathways Media Cells activated on the double Spitting venom and creating trouble Plethora of photoshops and planted stories Peddling narratives, worst than conspiracy theories. Meanwhile on the ground, a different game being played The pawns as usual disillusioned and dismayed Onslaught begins - First phase division Divide by nationality, status or religion Hate-mongering and fear-mongering No holds barred Political-correctness and propaganda not that far apart All kind of theatrics have been put to use Needless to discount the petty rhetoric and all the abuse Both left and right wing ideologies hand-crafted to look cool To trap the gullible and make them drool And nationalistic pride sprayed like chem-trails Beyond jingoism, everything else fails Morality and conscience have vanished into thin air Utopian lands being promised, as if almost here. The voter's are intelligent, they keep reiterating It's just a bait though, to lure them for voting But then again, what is the voter supposed to do? Greater evil or lesser evil are the choices to make Can it get any worst, is his obvious take Confusion, delusion and a hasty decision made Now crib, cry, swear and the same blame game Cometh the next election, its the same game play The vicious cycle repeats Politicians are back to deceive and cheat. Alright! Been there, done that To err is human they say Well! Guess what? I'll willfully repeat that!

Beneath the calm Of moonlit leaves, Lying lovers Shoot the breeze. When in the moment Of the mode, Between the rhythm Of stride and strode, Shoot off your mouth And not your load. Corner thugs Will deal you drugs To smoke or snort Or mainline shoot. It's a slippery slope Of lost freewill, The up is high, The trip's downhill. You're in the cross hairs; Drugs shoot to **** The shooter feigns Heeding advice, So craps himself On loaded dice. The lawyers grin Without remorse; They shoot your savings Throughout divorce. The pool hall hustler Cues his cool, Looking for A snookered fool. Naively, when the children play, Yell, “Ah shoot!” instead of say, “Ah **** We say that's okay. Like saying, **** When they can. It's in the Bible, see? Sports Illustrated Puts out a shoot Of photoshops In skimpy suits. When we say We shoot meat, Do we stalk roasts On city streets; From our hide On city blocks, Do we crossbow Down our chops; Do we rope ******* Then use buckshot? It's euphemistic, A rich spadeful: "We shoot 'em all," And that's no bull.

We Shoot 'Em All
