Rape Culture

Rape Culture

A Poem by Jerusalem Cricket
"

Yo quiero Taco Bell.

"
We do rape culture in uhmerica.

What is uhmerican culture anyway?
Can someone disambiguate?

I'll explain:
it's like,
irrationalized entitlement,
moral decadence on every side
of every fence &
sick narcissistic pride
to be parasitic,
a louse sucking
the life out of
the whole damn planet.

Men who have
everything
still die from depression.
Women who have
freedom
(coinciding with decency)
still call it
bold faced oppression.

Kill first question later.

Hermits complaining
about the rain when
they know damn well
they don't even want
to go outside anyway.

Everyone lies to
everyone lies to
everyone lies to
everyone lies to
everyone.

See?
It's a cycle.
A spiral.

Maybe it'll go quiet
into the night, or
maybe it'll ignite
the whole damn planet.

Has anyone else noticed
the rise and fall of
Napoleon & the Romans?

How every worldwide empire dies?
In a fiery gust of embarassment
that was the special from the start.

I've grown numb
to the disgust I felt
towards everyone else &
the fact that they're all
kind of beyond helping.

Now I'm just waiting
for it all to fall apart.

Author's Note

Jerusalem Cricket
Not as flowy, but it all flowed out, the frustration with the world around me. That everyone's getting stupider, the arts are dying, people don't read, shitty music/media/etc is being sensationalized, we eat crap that's almost formulated to kill us, literally & figuratively. I dunno. Seems like the whole mother's bout to come crashing down. Culture has been thoroughly raped, thanks merica. Think about that when you're pullin your short-shorts out your crevices. Rantover.
