Give It a Try

What is it that I'm saying...can you hear me from your silent praying?
Heads down with your eyes closed, don't even really know why you believe
That's why it seems ok at dinner, after grace to sit down and speak profound about the horrors of wars and the unjust's going down all over the place
Just don't dare mention any sexual actions...try it, and the table goes quiet as if someone had dropped a bomb, in fact that's already been discussed and the ignorant reactions were met with replies and satisfactions.

I'd like you to give it a try as if talking about orgasms are more inappropriate then someone that recently died...
Discuss a topic of death and destruction or violence and corruption and watch how everybody is all ears and a willing participant then bring up how you feel when touched from the pleasures of love and watch as these fucking hypocrites just blindly hush and might even lay into you that you should shush

Give it a try and understand why the world is ass backwards
Understand why when I say you are brainwashed
...you are...
By what you were fed since you were young by your parents and on the tube
...omfg, how dare you show a boob...
Film at 11 because it's destroying the fabric of our morals

All that after we show the wars and suicides, after we show you the tears from a mothers eyes, after we show you the pain from a drunk drive, after we show you that a plane crashed and no one survived...
It's ok, I mean that is news but remember god forbids us to be nude

How stupid it sounds when it's broken down as you choke it
down...

Your views aren't even yours because they never even gave you a choice
When you were young they closed your eyes and covered your ears, even muffled your voice
Speak up now, just give it a try, as throughout history, if the powers that be disagree, then you will probably die
Speak your mind and give hope to us all, open it up so these curtains can fall
Even though it usually ends up being the final act
...now, knowing that...
I wonder if MLK or John Lennon would want to take their words back
...Is it worth it...
In the end, that is for us to decide but how will we know, if we don't give it a try.

You make a very good point, although I'm not sure that people are all that eager to talk about death either. The fact that it is such a taboo topic (in some circles) also causes much anxiety and fear in people, as does the idea of a freely viewed naked body.

Thanks for sharing this, it is my first read by the way - I've been both lazy and busy. :)

PS The hypocrisy shown in your poem....is the black spot on humanity. Thanks for exploring it.

You have the answer in the palm of you hand, bring your children up differently and they will theirs and then we can all get naked and be proud of our bodies instead of made to feel that any tiny little thing that isn't absolutely perfect in the media mindset, makes us rejects... it is all bollocks my friend!lol British expression... your poem really got to me, because here I am ignored it I write anything slightly naughty, like this one... which I took down after nearly 30 readers decided not to comment... WELL Fuck that my friend!!!lol so I took it down...

It was very rude but had many levels, one being humour!

What do you think?


Now Don't Get Me Wrong...

I love dick... I just
Don't like Dick's or Harry's butt!
I love a big dick...

I know it is rude, but rude isn't a crime and it lifts more than spirits!lol

Smiling at you

It is as you say ass backward - are we so de sensitised to love? An excellent poem
