Behold the Lady, Rape Culture

Behold the Lady, Rape Culture

A Poem by TheDuraMater
"

a song about feminism

"

I am the problem yet I hog the power

To find a solution and save the hour

I am the cause yet I am the fix

To save a thousand ladies from the world's worst trip


Don't blame me with your honor you have not earned

Blame the blame that you coward's fail to spurn

When will you realize we are not the center

Of a universe so brashly tilted to piss you off?

When will you realize that criminals never learn?


Behold the lady with the drab picket sign

More aware than ever that I am breathing, I am the crime

I don't just hate the cog, I hate the system

That sustains an indifference towards the risk in

Freedom of speech and what it sounds like to me


Please me and if you don't

You're the reason I can't elope

Or walk down the streets with my body bare

Tell all the eyes it's not my fault they stare


Now I don't hate others I've just got a problem

With people shouting theirs and thinking it solves them

Because you can't teach an old dog sexist tricks

And f**k whatever s**t walk you run because that's just what it is


You can't teach an old dog sexist tricks

We know you're preaching just what it is


Behold the lady with the drab picket sign

More aware than ever that I am breathing, I am the crime

I don't just hate the cog, I hate the system

That sustains an indifference towards the risk in

Freedom of speech and what it sounds like to me
