A man’s world

A man’s world

James Brown. Brown.

Brown becomes white and white is black.

Sorry. Excuses.

Excuse, me.

I had those images, for the first time.

Nice soft paintings of Monet.

I had those voices, yelling and screaming

at my door but babe, it is a man’s world.

And then again, since more than 12 years

young girls and women, raped, tortured,

to Hell. Abortion, broken families

and lost crowns.

It is not longer than twelve years.

You say, you believe me, as I believe you.

One dude a day makes a difference.
