Oh Absolom

Oh Absolom

This I can’t love

Oh Absolom

With your perfection

Oh Absolom

Your scapegoats

Your discards

Your patcy

It’s ok

Every woman  has to behave in that industry

It’s ok

All women have to do what the men say

It’s ok

It’s a sexist industry

It’s alright

There is sex to sell

Let’s objectify

Erect a monument to manhood

Ignore the female gaze

Don’t make them adhere to women’s standards

We have to adhere to theirs

Are they going to make a monster out of me

Sew together the worst parts of humanity

Oh Absolom

You were the only person who was in love with you

Oh Absolom

You are the perfect man to you

Oh Absolom it’s not about me

But it was never about you

It’s such a pity

That poetry

Is mixed in with the music industry

It’s how pretty

Just be Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Emily Dickinson

Be Leonard Cohen

Be Keats, Byron and Shelley

In 2004

So released into his hands after leaving him

8 months apart but he wants the girl back from his MBA

Just like the day started at University

So he has tempted his own fate

Big crime sprees surround

Secrets like this

You’ve tempted your own fate

Bestiality

Moral Ambiguity

Involve the evil people

We celebrate civility

You celebrate a hillbilly

Did you try to haze them

Trick them into wanting

The hate speech girl

The most unpopular

Girls from school

I waited a decade so he would leave me

On the down low in the bathrooms

In the park in the afternoon

I knew

But what a risk to me

Need an injection

Against pregnancy

 

Please go out on the town looking for someone

A woman to bleed dry

Finances shut down

For your lies to prosper

In silence

In humiliation

No preparation

Oh what a nice guy

So he could be with some other guy

At university in the boys rooms

Reminds me so much of you

The cycle of abuse

Continues for your convenience

My life disrupted

From the minute I got back

Three  other times

You tore me down

But I got behind security

To press the red button on him

Moved cities to do it

There is no such thing as a hero

Please record all the potshots

The people who try to pull me down for sexual assault 

Make a record of it please

For having to stay be held under duress 

That last night in London

 

I couldn’t wait for him to leave

Because no one believed me

So when I called the police on him

They were a supporter of men too

Tried to get him to go at every opportunity

Please with as many other woman as you can

Or find a nice man and “I’ll help you come out”

Men can be lawless in your industry

And they brandish it

Behind closed doors

No authenticity

Who is that guy

It is nothing like him

He needs that authenticity coach

And don’t say that

You could sound like a narc

It’s two out of control narcs gone wild

Oh Absolom

You were right

Almost no one wanted you for you

Unless they are just like you

I always found him ugly

But I kept that to me

That’s what decent people do

Life’s not about hookers and blow

And measuring beauty

It’s about civility

Hope your children fall

Far from the tree

Not rude and self involved

Like the almighty

Like his cruelty

Like his denigration

Of other human beings

Women who don’t like him

Lick your own wounds

Your sycophants

No one cares about crying celebrities
