This next piece is called "Big Metal Dicks". �Its also an anti-war poem.
I read this a few times and each time it was well received. �At the end I stood in a bold posture and flipped off the crowd. � �A girl in the audience gasped.� I fucking loved it. �How often can you get in a crowd's face and get applauded for it?
Again it touches on anti-war themes, as well as �pacification of the masses. � It places some of the blame �for the war on�the behavior or lack of behavior of the masses.
Thinking about when I wrote it, the woman that nearly ran me off the road was driving a �behemoth SUV. �It just dawned on me that some people just use their vehicles as large metal phalluses. �They behave in ways that the never would face to face with someone. �They use it to compensate for their perceived inadequacies.
And we all pay the price.
Anyway, the notes are on, �I'll get a link for it sometime soon, but any notes/feedback is appreciated.
