Meanwhile, people

So the final creep

Of Tyranny

Has unlocked 

The prison door

In Egypt

And 

A dozen

Or so

Women

Have been raped

And have been 

Saying so

For awhile

But it takes

A man telling jokes

For people to

Notice

Meanwhile

A man

Just admitted

He was raped

And people

Noticed right away

If only to roll their eyes

Blame him

Shame him

And likely 

Not believe it

Meanwhile

Ex-boyfriends

Still shoot

Their ex-girlfriends

Dead

And people

Still punch each other

In the face

For TVs & purses

And people

Are saying the things

"America" said

When sheriffs

Also wore sheets

And people use 

The word "Freedom"

When they mean

"Force"

Meanwhile

I will still have to 

Walk the long way

Home

When somebody 

Blocks the path

It will be my fault-

Long pants & three layers-

For being out

And people still

Don't understand

How stupid it is

How dangerous it is

To insist the oppressed

Keep oppressing themselves

Because it is safer to

Just comply

It is unfair but

You'll be safe

Until somebody

Decides to 

Block the path

If my favorite

Sports team was playing

I'd set a car on fire
