This 'dude' no longer abides....

   
      
An outright phoney      
espousing of honour—        
I've decided to no longer      
silently sit by      
and abide that tragedy        
       
That.        
supposed.        
oath.        
       
of sham solidarity        
once seen      
in a harsh spotlight      
of reality        
it's      
"Bitches will be Bitches "      
yeah, truth is like that      
spotlighting      
the spoken      
deplorable      
showcasing a detailed hypocrisy      
in all that throwaway high horse        
that's desperately spoonfed      
and wrapped up nicely in adorable        
       
Returning a hero?        
Hardly        
It's only a matter of time        
before true colours burn      
through the facade        
to paint in factual certitudes      
from sky to heaven high        
       
Each stroke      
twisting and daring        
Oh those lines      
and curves        
how they        
do lure      
just so        
       
Colored syllables morph      
in praise      
and adulation        
while the truth      
bites the heart      
of a paint by numbers horror        
       
I refuse      
to be backed into a corner        
to be bullied by      
or thought in opposite      
of what is known      
of truest knowns        
       
'Tis no burden      
or choice      
or woe is you      
       
That brawn      
in feminine strength      
       
Women. Supporting. Women.        
       
That is the point.      
       
An unselfish portraying      
of kindness      
instead of haunting      
with a counterfeit      
airbrushed revisionist folly        
       
become the goodness      
       
Because      
sadly        
it's always      
the shite        
pettiness      
       
       
       
       
that's remembered.

Be it at the workplace, on social media or the "unintended" little digs from acquaintances friends or family, this topic boggles my mind and even more so that it's still so obviously an issue.
I love that quote..
"Empowered women empower women."
#Truth.
Become the good you want to see in others.
