Extinction

Men

                  are extinct.

They have been since



                  the beginning of time.

Men are

                 more than a cheap fuck

                              more than a pay raise

            more than a blow job

                                          more than the smell of whiskey

                        more than domination.

Men are

                  knowledgable



                                                      considerate

                              secure

                                                blameless.

Men are

                  extinct.

And I

            I was burned at the stake

            I was shackled to a man

            I was a mare to a stallion

            I was a radical

            I was a convenience

            I was a possession

            I was soulless

            I was the weaker sex

            I was 'lesser than'

            I was 'feebler than'

            I was 'less intelligent than'

            But I have suffered

            And I have overcome

            For now

            I am an equal

            So do not ask me

            To crawl back into the dark

            From which I have emerged

            And do not ask me to buckle

      &n&nbs     Under you hand or your stare

            Or your righteous indignation

            When I stand and back

            You into a corner

            As I slide my hand between my thighs

            Without shame

            Because men



                                          are extinct.
