REQUEST OF THE REASONABLY GOOD MEN
C Ra McGuirt
fathers,
please do us a favor:
stop raping your little girls,
& making them afraid of us
or turning them into whores.
there are a few men in this world
who want a chance to treat them well.
fathers, please don't do this any more.
fathers,
please do us a favor:
don't ignore your young women.
not screaming at or striking them
is not enough to make you good.
let them go, but not too far.
be there for them when you should.
do this for us, if you would.
fathers,
please do us a favor,
& be good to your daughters.
we're so damn tired of dealing
with the products of your failures:
bent, broken,&erratic girls
who don't know how to take it
when we offer
ordinary
love.
