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?
