The Animus and the Yang.
By Ross E F Lombardi .
(a straight man)
.
I am a straight man who has a problem with all other straight men.
I am not a bigot as such,
Or maybe I am,
I am not totally sure…
…But there is definitely a bias against us all.
We are a needed poison but never the cure.
.
If someone calls me a “Good Man”
It feels like an oxymoron.
The male energy is a slaughtering weapon,
A bloody knife.
Or Gun,
The male energy is just yet another murdered wife.
.
If they call me “Good”
It feels like an impossible lie!
The male energy or Yang is only a hot white flame,
A bright shining darkness in me that makes me sad.
A burning destruction,
And nothing but bad.
.
Every straight man here has dreamt and is dreaming even as I speak.
Of harming another.
-….And I as stand here reporting this,
- Probably of harming me.
Every straight man here not only knows what I say is true.
But is eager to prove it.
Because that is what we are.
Harming others is what we do.
.
If they call me a “Man”
I shrug and think “Guilty as accused”.
The male energy or Animus is only ever a weapon,
An ever-existing violence that makes me Bitter.
Just Rage and Pain.
And nothing better.
.
As I look in the mirror, I also see in my eyes the shadow of every man that has ever been.
Every fist, punch kick, and rape in history is my legacy.
Almost every evil I have ever witnessed was done by a straight man, just like me.
My first memory is of my dad harming my mum.
Last memory, a nightmare,
- From this morning of other things since
- I have seen.
.
Every evil woman was only made that way,
Because some straight man did something nasty to her,
Destroying Whom She Should
- Have instead
- Have been.
.
So how can I be a straight man and justify my existence at all?!
- All I can do is be a Grass.
A Grass that grows and shows the grave of every victim.
- All can be is a scruffy Stool Pigeon
Packing at the breadcrumbs and seeds like a winged city rat signpost.
- I can justify my existence as a straight man - as a witness.
A witness for the prosecution,
That condemns us all!
