I was never created to apologize
as much as you expect me to
Just like Nirvana
just like you
We are all meant to
“Coma As You Are”
But somewhere we learned to lie to ourselves
to each other
to the stranger on the street
Because for some reason
we decided that people had value
and some get to have more than others
So the woman at Cornell
who was raped by 7 men
is worth less than her rapists
Or because I honor my wife
someone else feels left out
even though I am not dismissing anyone
We have lost the meaning of honor
Of love
Of what is “Good For the Soul”
Of what sex really is
Because we learn in health class
it is a bodily function
But we don’t learn that it also
encompasses our heart, soul, and mind
It can create life or death
It can do worse than make a baby
but pass on sickness that leads to death
And that is why I wish Madonna and Sabrina
Would not have performed their song at the VMAs
“Bring Your Love”
in a public restroom
where people are randomly
and casually have sex
because even though people do it
I would hope that we all would work harder
to invoke the honor and love we deserve
In everything we do
And we have to start somewhere
on these unspecified additional things
that have more meaning
than we have assigned them
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
