i don’t want to become a cliché
but i have this horrible , growing feeling
after being hurt, undermind and bullied
that all the men in my life except thee
are gutless, power hungry bastards
just as i was always told
by woman who had been hurt, undermined and bullied
by gutless, power hungry bastards
and of the thee men that aren’t
one lives in another country
i’ve grounded the second
and the third still needs a bloody shake half the time
does that affirm my feminist credentials
or just make me cry?
