Misanthrope

Behind podium
Chest out
Tie tight
Belt buckled
Shoes, lace-less

"I'm a man"
He declared
Pointing hand
In the air
"...obviously"

Is it? Are you?
Stereotyped himself
No one asked
No one cared
Self-aware

"Men go right.
Women go left.
In between,
Go home.
Leave us alone."

Idiocracy
Ignorance
Political fad
Now we care
Why go there?

"They'll rape!
Assault!
No one else
At fault!
Lay down the law!"

Except you?
Ha, this dude
Did he forget?
Did he regret
His own malcontent?

Months ago
Alleged bathroom assault
Always "alleged"
With these government heads
Is he kidding?

Of course not
Robot
Beep bopping agenda
Crowd stopped
Cheering now

Boo birds came out
Speaker's doubt, too.
We don't take kindly
To hypocrisy.
You're no deity.

Consistency is key
To rid ourselves
Of this insanity
Let them be.
Let them pee.

I'm only
Afraid of you
Lying to listeners
Dying to be mislead
And misinformed
