A Video In Bad Taste Poem by John Sensele

A perturbing video on youtube
A belt she wielded
Taunting Daev who for mercy pleaded
While sadist lasses giggled on a cube

Astonishment rose
At the sight of such callous abandon
Ignorance and insolence modern days could don
In hearts that humanity froze

In the distant past
Where barbarism and the law of the jungle
Reigned supreme in a tangle
New millennium away cast

In preference to civilised means to settle disputes
From arbitration to legal action
Instead of the savage satisfaction
Sadism portrays in shame-filled suites

Which civilisation abhors
Alongside insensitivities
That post hurtful video depravities
To settle scores on shameless shores

That demean the dignity of a woman
Essentially projected as caring
Although women can be daring
In settling differences with another woman or a man.
