Regieme of Oppression

We live in a regime

of oppression,

oppression by guilt and shame

the ramifcations of which

are entirely insane.

Don't touch yourself.

its a sin

don't touch someone else

its a mortal sin

even if they beg for it,

pleading

for the close comfort of human contact

the unrestrained joy of expression,

the little death

the petite du mort

that helps you

make it through the day.

Deny yourself

one of the few

true

pleasures of life,

because someone, somewhere

decided it was not for them.


Hold it all in,

because you can't,

love the touch

the heat

the heart of passion

the communion

with all that is human,

unless you have a ring

and the solemn right procreate

(missionary-style, of course)

given by old men who never have sex,

THEN its ok.

Pack it down,

because its Wrong,

but its so, so Right

to punch and fight

to slaughter and kill all day,

as long as its done

in a dead-man's name,

who lived thousands of years ago

and thousands of miles away.


why anyone

would rather watch someone get shot

on  nightly TV

rather than see a beautiful naked breast

is entirely beyond me.
