The Missing Link / Mentally MurderedAn integral sense comesWith belonging to a scene Supposedly absent of barriers (When sexism is only One of many). Earnest words Calling for unity of the sexes When she's still the chick, or stupid bitch (Ridiculed for showing an interest). Hidden indifference Strikes an emotion reaction When you see an animal being abused. Yet un-noticed when a woman Is abused In the same way. The links of oppression Stem from the same degradation But to one, Our eyes remain closed. Actively abusing the rights of one Whilst fighting For those of another. The "scene" may hold a different name, But the roleplays just the same. Equal rights are fine, As long as she's in her place. Outrightly denouncing fascism, Whilst oblivious to it taking place, Is condemnation of standards, All an act to save face. Unity, a stark ambition When our abuse Surpasses recognition. Your aspirations, unable to stretch, Beyond the barriers of what's expected, As the free thought you were born with Becomes externally polluted. Lose sight of your ideals In their brainwashing institutions, Predetermine your values To befit Your substandard existence... Discouraging creativity, To aim for empty ambitions. Living up to others' expectations. Takes hold of your assiduity. Mentally murdered! The will to succeed Overpowers the will to resist. Mentally murdered! Always up to the mark, Set the wheels in motion, A fake sense of security From your invariable position. Sinking in the crowd, A face minus expression. A mouth that echoes words, Recycled from tradition. Your only contentness Is in living a lie. Mentally murdered! Do you possess the strength To re-create your own life? Mentally murdered!?!? |
