Smashing Patriarchy?
Smashing Patriarchy?
Cassandra, no more a six-year-old
Selcouth
Selcouth
Selcouth
Part-time cynical grounds
is where she loved to play
Guilt tripped herself constantly
For the things, she shouldn't be
Cassandra, you shouldn't be bold
Cassandra, you shouldn't fight
Cassandra, you shouldn't ask
Cassandra shouldn't do this,
Cassandra shouldn't do that
Cassandra'
Cassandra'
Cassandra'
Reality,
She's tired of everything
She doesn't want blatant words
that describes smashing the patriarchy
She wants you to be in;
In flesh and bones
In action.
Girls like her adjust their persona
for survival in a deep-rooted patriarchal ground
They constantly fight like bipolars.
Sucking for essentials can be hurtful,
But watching men misuses their privileges
is fucking crucial for the heart;
Manipulative vultures killing Cassandras.
But Cassandra arose again,
Just for you to remind you that
There are girls like Cassandra
Who could die on the patriarchal ground
But chooses art for liberal choice
On smashing patriarchy word by word
with heavy metals or pops
that you started hating because you thought
Girls like Cassandra are no more cute 80s Miley songs
They are Miley's new pop songs
that could burn thousands of misogynists
Just by a verse that could make you
Guilt-tripping, when you failed to be accountable
for your sexist actions years ago.
No, you can't stop Cassandras
They may choose to change their persona
to protect their mental health under patriarchy
but inside,
deep inside, they're waiting for your fall
they're screaming inside with powerful hexes
that could turn your patriarchy from ashes to nothing
when you manipulated Cassandra to fall out of love and life
just because she was in love with you;
Now,
Cassandra may be unfamiliar to you
Cassandra may be rare
Cassandra may be strange
Yet she is marvelous
A Selcouth
Secretly plotting deaths for misogynists
by creating hell knots
to feel free that one day
all the abusers who raped/gaslighted/manipulated her
will be burnt alive not with fire
but just her words that called out bigots
