Wakes and Waves

Harvey Weinstein’s Wake I’d like to attend,

If all the “Me Too’s” are accurate in the end

Lengthening list of perpetrators grows

For all those who lie, so too grows their nose



The sky is falling ‘cause half who hold it aloft

Are beaten down for being too soft

Have been down so long it looks “up” to us

Struck mute till Harvey’s antics allowed a good fuss 



Open the window, to let out the stink

How low did you think some people could sink?

Open the window to let the truth in

Step up and welcome the brave and good men



“Women and children first” sounds noble and nice

Words to live by after throwing the rice.

Yet, in practice they seem first for sacrifice

"Rule of thumb”measured the beating twig’s size



In the animal kingdom must males display,

Beating their chests and killing their prey

Showing their tool to all so they’ll see

The lord of the tribe has the biggest wee wee?



Open the window, to let out the stink

How low did you think some people could sink?

Open the window to let the truth in

Step up and welcome the brave and good men



Learning to use our top brain over lower

Cherishing children and women? True Power!

Society’s strong as its own weakest link

My fear is too many are full of the stink



Can women ride the wave toward safe shore

Ride the crest do our best and a little bit more

Watch for dark currents that could pull us under

Will we seize our equality this time? I wonder



Open the window, let the stars wink

Knowing and nodding they bid us to think

Open the window in truth let us soak

Step up and welcome the brave and good folk
