Taboos

Brilliant!
please try to forgive
my overopinionated rant below
(for me, if someone is of an age
to make an informed choice
with a maturity, reducing the likeliness
of them being coerced
and their way of life, does not hurt others
it\'s none of my business, to judge!
and for those that argue
how their children can be influenced
from simply being exposed to a way of life
however different to their \'prejudicial ideal\'
I can only wonder
how little must the child be prepared
for the complexities and diversities
of life
for them to be influenced, by proximity
alone;
if the parents, had armed that child
with the necessary defences
to insure the child is empowered
to make choices
that benefits their life, first and foremost
then they shouldn\'t have to worry;
it\'s equivalent to assuming
every kid, will become
a drunken bum after a freshmen, week
in college...)

Blood of Life

While I have absolute respect for the way you address a sometimes difficult subject (also the polish and strength of your poetry) I have just the vaguest unease when it comes to advice from a male to a female with respect to such an intimate part of their bodies….. (But again I do accept your intention to direct it at ‘all humans’.)
Let’s see if you stay with MPS. Enjoy. This is an interactive site. Feel free to read other’s poetry and respond with commentary.
