the feeling of distress
when it is the dress
that needs to impress
what are we inspecting-
what values reflecting-
what ideals respecting?
when a beard grows long
and the tzitzis knots strong
then you can belong
feel free to rape
any size and shape
don’t need to escape
will be protected
and even respected
all accusations deflected
if the look is devout
that is what it’s about
never mind the inside-just out
there is no inhibition
it’s religion by definition
this is our tradition
how can you feel-
how can you heal-
when this is meant as real?
the pain is refused
the logic is confused
when you’re the one-
Who was abused.
