Objectification

Freud said it best
and all of us believe it
that you sistas
envy us brothers,
and it was all
because of our penis

this penis
thinking on its own
often destroying homes
infused with testosterone
running like a mad man
even destroying his own

this penis
big, black, or my case honey brown penis
brings domination to black homes while
beating wives into submission
and children, love is missing
‘cause “i’m the man of this house
and i’ll swing a big stick to prove it.”
black eyes blue
and rib’s almost broke as
life seeps away
with black hands
on black throats.

that penis
engages in power struggles
head to head
in corporate boardrooms
resulting in modern day
Watergates, Enron, and MicroSoft gloom
and poor men
minimum wage-hued
are left in unemployment lines
as swinging sticks
smoke cigars
in poker played
back rooms.

that penis
truly the heart’s cock-block
keeping you lover for loving- emotionally
‘cause physicality has the heart
she wants feel love but
he hits and quits – lust
and she’s left to feel empty while
he’s satisfied with heartless thrusts

full of perversion
and stolen lives lived
wives beaten into submission
innocent, anal ripped deals
So…is this penis
testosterone filled
really the cause for envy?
