This is a womanifesta

This is a womanifesta
Because co-operation does not equal consent
And it's time we recognize the difference
possession is 9/10s of the law and as long as this body is mine I will do,
dress,
and fuck
as I please.
I have the right to say no
and be heard
I have the right to love who I want,
the way that I want
as long as it's not hurting anybody
My sexual orientation is not
To be an indication that I need to be "taught a lesson"or "converted back"
Because
I'm not confused
I know what love looks like
And when I see it,
Or someone deserving of it
I extend my heart without hesitation
I Take precaution
Use some common sense so
Please
Do me a favor & Put your dick back in your pants
until further notice
Regard this as your marching orders
From the women tired of being hypersexualized on screen, in music & real life
They try to hide the trespass as building an image for us to look up to
Instead leading us down a path that's empty & hollow
Using reality tv for brainwashing society
Keeping women complacent
whether the product is a Nikki Minaj
or a suzie homemaker
She is nothing more then a wanna be
carbon copy
eager to please,
slow to anger,
unconditionally accepting, doormat
It Keeps my nerves racked
on edge
Because children don't know the difference
between real life & the fantasy
And apparently
Neither do some political officials
For all their bells and whistles
the fact remains that we still teach women not to get raped
Instead of teaching men not to do it
They'll make any excuse to blame the victim
Tell us that they are responsible for the inability of another to respect our boundaries
That if you are too nice,
dressed too provocatively,
accept a drink,
flirt/smile
Enter a conversation
then he
Can take it as a sign that
it is on
Where I stand,
this shit has gone on too long
I will not be embracing of philosophies that tell my daughter if it happens
it's her fault.
And even more
She will have to live with the seed of his sin
A daily reminder of horrors in a face of innocence
There is no worse form of torture to engage in
This womanifesta is a rallying cry
A call to arms for all warrior
Womyn
to stand our ground
Respond to the declaration of war on our bodies & minds
In this country and worldwide
If we band together,
we can Change the tide
Show our foremothers that their fight for our rights
Was not a waste of time.
