Whispered Wanderings

There but for the grace of your God go you,
as you judge the rest of the world from your
lofty, self-constructed throne.
I’m glad for you, I am
that in your safe and tidy little bubble
human monsters don’t exist;
that in your rarefied world, no woman could ever have her control
stolen from her.

But keep your judgments there too
where they belong;
we don’t want them here in the
real world
where monsters and humans
unfortunately
co-exist.
