Kneeling (Poetry Entry for the Nihilistic Rainbow Contest #5)
Kneeling
The night is steamy:
kneel in front of your man,
your hands grasped -
begging for his blessing.
The morning is holy:
kneel in front of your priest,
your hands grasped -
begging for his forgiveness.
The irony of it all:
you repeat the same act twice;
taking men too seriously,
letting them dictate
how you should behave.
This poem was written for the Satirical Contest Nihilistic Rainbow #5. The theme of the poem/contest is that you should not be taking life too seriously. Let loose, enjoy, and do not be a slave to the patriarchy.
