I'm just sayin...

I'm just so damn sick
Of Dick and The Dick.
I'm tired and I'm weary
Of the news that's so bleary;
Of young people dyin'
And distraught mothers cryin';
Of the rich still enrichin'
While the rest of us bitchin'
Over bills we can't pay;
That the fat cats still play
With their marvelous toys
While our young girls and boys
Die for what we are told
Is a cause pure and bold,
We are wasting our treaure
On a mission we can't measure
By traditional means.
It's a big hill of beans
We are fed every day
By these men who still say
We must continue to die.
It's a bold-faced lie
That our safety depends
On their means to some ends
No one alive can forsee.
They spend money with glee,
They are so casual with lives
That they're giving me hives.
If men had the babies,
We'd treat childbirth like rabies,
There'd be months of paid leave
For the mornings they'd heave.
There'd be insurance and shots--
There would be lots and lots
Of other people's money
Passed out like honey
To the pregnant masses
Maybe even sleep gasses
To make the process easier
So that they wouldn't feel queasier
Than they're making the rest
Of us feel. Couldn't we just test
The alternative theory?
I might feel more cheery.
It sure couldn't be worse
If the power of the purse
Could be put in the trust
Of the humans with a bust.
I think it's ironic
All the critical tonic
I've received in emails
Is from cynical females.
Could it be that this thing
Has the closely-felt sting
Of reality's hammer.
I'm reduced to a stammer.
Never thought the fair sex
Couldn't see the car wrecks
Of the nation's welfare
Were because men do not care
That their awful behavior
Makes them less like a savior;
Makes them think that a gun
Is what they call fun.
I'm not sure that I'm wrong,
But I'm prepared to go along,
Take a shot that a change
Might not turn out so strange.
Never said I was right...
I just said that it...MIGHT.

not a huge fan

of that rhyme you have going on, but hell, you made up for that with your rhetoric. I give you a 5 and must tell you I truly enjoy a strong opinion, especially, when it is similar to mine. <wink>

A light airy rhyme scheme that makes the message easier to swallow, no matter which side of the divide you're on.

Hey one of those was me! Not on an email but a comment there for all the world to see and I see you are still hoping you are right and the ladies are not!

Love and agree with the politics!

But I'm sort of "eh" on the rhyme scheme. Still, the overall message is great, and one more people need to think about in my humble weeny opinion. :-)

Your poem has been recommended in the New Poems Review thread on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum. Thanks for the read!

good people on both sides of the gender divide...

I saluted with glee when I saw how accurately you portrayed the sickening malaise which surrounds us, and I doubly laughed when frustration hit the roof and you sent sharp as arrows expressions towards our administration…

But again my friend I’ll be frank (as only friends should be): women as saints and men to the dumps is fun when we joke in bars and the like, but you could not be serious my pall. I must send you some names of the worst war/hate mongering advocates on this land, just look for the first names…(if you get my gist). There are good people on both sides of the gender divide, they should get together for what’s right. By the way if you are right in your theory about women - what does it make you and me?
