Man Infest Destiny
Men touching women inappropriately
Is programmed in man infest destiny.
You don’t ask a fragrant forest to fall
You snarl a chain saw and take it all.
You don’t ask the waves, or reefs, or fish
You cast your nets and fill your dish.
You don’t let native people live in peace
You spread pox and toxic overreach.
You don’t invite voters to have a say
You spy, and lie, and steal the day.
You don’t tell protestors you see their side
You crack down on ‘crime’, despise, decry.
You don’t get consent to defile or drill
Be proud of conquest — a triumph of your will,
You don’t even ask, much less, respect
You crush, and crash, and smash dissent.
When hurricanes, floods, and flames burst out
You’re confused. What happened to your clout?
Shrug your shoulders. Then ask, instead of caring,
Is she nutty, or slutty? And, what was she wearing?
