OH BOY SONNETS!!!

There is no power
only perception
I fool you not this is the truth of the matter
For each of you are tricked into thinking
Your opinions truly count
When all they are
are pithy, minor, complaints
To the deaf
Giant, massive, useless bags of air
But in your continuous efforts to be heard
In your tenacious actions though absurd
After you’ve died from exhaustion and protest
The change comes slightly
There is no rest

He managed to correct himself
I was impressed by his ability to adjust
I gave him a good tongue lashing
His enlightenment being the result
I hope he spreads the good news
Like wildfire among his peers
I hope he’s smart enough to realize
The fight does not end here
For if he thinks enduring
My soap box symphony was the end
He needs to know
Boys turn into men
And raise daughters
so what then?

She asked you for nature
So you gave her a house plant
She requested the ocean
So you changed her screen saver
She wanted a good book
You bought her Fifty Shades of Grey
She needed a hug
You just laughed her away
I need no explanation of the man you’ve become
I fear you’re too busy or broken to love someone
I hope I am wrong
but if it happens to be true
I hope you find someone to love
that’s not you.
