Self-Will Gone Rabid

I am an anorexic

I am a bulimic

I am an alcoholic

A cutter

An overeater

And a smoker

 

I am a rape victim

Harboring the symptoms

Of self-will run riot

A thousand forms of fear

A thousand forms of self-destruction

A thousand forms of self-pity

And self-loathing

 

And I am free!

Here in recovery.

The patriarchy never hurt me

And no feminist ever saved me

No!

Responsibility for my health

For my life

For my actions

Resides solely

And completely

With me.

 

I look upon the social “justice” movement

And I cringe at self-will gone rabid!

Feminism!

You wage war in the name of equality

Fight battles on the turf of justice

Scrimmage in games of tolerance

And bicker over matches of love

 

Yet you practice inequality

Injustice

Intolerance

And loveless imposition of your own

Twisted ideas

 

For what world do we live in?

Where a man’s scream is lesser than a woman’s?

A white human’s tears less poignant than the colored?

Where your perceived enemy’s pain is warranted

 Their cries unheard

Stifled

Under a blanket of self-righteousness

Self-delusion

And a thousand forms of self-interest.

 

You are sick!

In the name of good

You wave a flag of evil

And proclaim it righteous

Brainwashed

You tread forward on a path of

Annihilation

And you blame everyone

But yourself.

Who is really the perpetrator

Of your meaningless pain?

 

The answer

Stares back from the mirror.

 

Driven by a thousand forms of self-will

Gone rabid

Diseased

Grotesque

This movement is one of evil

And I feel for those

Who succumb to its infection

And all of its nasty

Pitiable symptoms.
