Das Ewig-Weibliche Zieht Uns Hinan Poem by Ramona Thompson

Das ewig-weibliche zieht uns hinan
The eternal feminine draws us upward
Poisons us till we are mindless
Powerless over our urges
So much so that sometimes we take
Hurt when we do not mean to
You call it rape
You call it a crime
You really should't
Because it is not
It is just a moment of insanity brief and fleeting
A few short minutes of insanity
Not really our faults at all
When women bare a little too much
Tease a little too much
Act the almighty diva a little too much
How can we be expected then not to take action?
Not to take back the control they are trying to rob us of
Yes, we know
It sounds like a lame excuse, but it is true
We are doing only what their lovely and oh so delicious beauty forces us to do
Please try to understand
For the love of God, please try
