Your Manipulation


I love the way you lie to me.

I love the way you force our sex.

I love the way you want to be

alive but always risk our necks.

I love the way you hate on me.

I love the way you yell.

I love the way you kicked my knee

and told me not to tell.

I love the way you make me starve

to look presentable for you.

I love the way you make me carve

a niche with your friends that isn’t true.

I love the way you punish me

by not talking at all.

I love the way you squeal with glee

when my ego takes a fall.

I love the way you cause me pain

and bruise me where it doesn’t show.

I love the way you are the main

partner, the one that tells me no

when I overdo it and get some pride.

I love the way you want me to go

but yet want me to take me for a ride.

I love the way you keep me humble.

I love the way you scorn.

I love how you put me right when I fumble and stumble.

I love how you say I wish I’d never been born.

I love the way you tell me not

to talk to my friends all the time.

I love the way you smoke pot

in my house even though here it’s still a crime.

I love the way you drink too much.

I love your drunken rage.

I love the way you’re out of touch

and always say you’ll turn the page

and change but then you never do.

But if I don’t change I get beaten.

I love the way you say what’s true…

that I’m fat, if I have eaten.

I love the way you have a gun

and tell me you know how to use it.

I love the way you love your fun,

especially when you really lose it.

I love the way you cheat

and call me stupid for not catching on.

I love the way you beat

me and lock me naked outside on the lawn.

I love the way you took

me to a shrink because I must be mad.

Because I lost it, grabbed you and shook

you when I realized I’d been had.

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

By
To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

By
Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

By
The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...
