    Poem day 8/100: “Failing, Badly” – America the Blind- visceral poetry

    This is my day 8 poem for the 100 poems in 100 days contest started on threads. Here I am exploring the intersections of political power, personal trauma, and societal complicity. “Failing, Badly” titled after the ending of the merry Christmas post on his social site truth social. This poem confronts the shocking realities of public figures’ actions and the collective silence that allows abuse to continue, using visceral imagery and direct language to provoke reflection and outrage. Content warning mention on CSA and Incest aligned thinking! Do not proceed if you are not comfortable being uncomfortable.

    “Failing,badly”

    I began to wonder

    seeing repeats of Donny’s

    “truth” on December 24.

    Radical leftists scum.

    Would if he’d stop

    riding our asses if we

    pretended not to care

    little girls make him cum.

    Visceral visual

    disgusting

    disturbing

    America the brave

    Where are they?

    Failing badly

    Or

    They transitioned to

    America the

    Blind.

    To trump voters the

    Mother’s and Father’s

    Of girls, who voted him in

    I have a

    Question

    How’d you vote for a man who

    publicly makes taboo statements

    About his own

    Kid?

    “if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

    Admitting to reoccurring times of

    Bring up Incest adjacent

    Attraction

    on the tv screen

    Now cheer for your President.

    Poet’s Note:

    I wrote this poem in response to the resurfacing of statements made by Americas first king that should disturb any human conscience. It’s intentionally loud, intentionally uncomfortable. The poem uses repetition, short lines, and stark imagery to mimic the emotional jolt of confronting truths that the people who could stop this, or care often ignore. I hope it sparks conversation, reflection, and a refusal to normalize abuse.

    “Failing, Badly” is a call to awareness and accountability. It is not enough to witness wrongdoing and look away. Poetry can amplify discomfort and force reflection. This I feel can be an essential step toward change. America must confront the failures of its leaders and the complicity of its change makers and citizens, before history writes another chapter of moral collapse. Notice each one is worse than the last as history progresses? We have got to do better!

    Share this poem if you please let it travel like wildfire and reach the ones who need to see it, feel it, or wrestle it. Poetry and truth deserve no quiet corners.

  • Ben Shapiro. Loud, wrong, and a misogynist

    Ben Shapiro. Loud, wrong, and a misogynist

    Ben Shapiro is a figure known for his aggressive debating style and political commentary. However, beneath the loud persona lies a consistent pattern of misogyny that permeates much of his public discourse. His treatment of women is not simply a matter of ideological difference. But it is a devaluation of their lived experiences, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and dismissing genuine social struggles.

    One glaring example is his reaction to Cardi B’s 2019 song “WAP.” Instead of engaging with the cultural impact or significance of the song. Benny chose to mock female sexuality, expressing confusion over basic female anatomy by suggesting that natural bodily responses were signs of illness. This public display of ignorance was not just embarrassing; it reflected a deeper discomfort with women’s autonomy over their own bodies.And to that I say, “Sorry you never got your wife’s pussy wet, Benny boy.”

    Beyond isolated incidents, Shapiro routinely diminishes feminist concerns, framing issues like the gender wage gap, domestic violence, and reproductive rights as emotional exaggerations. In his narratives, women’s experiences are often reduced to tools for debate rather than reflections of systemic inequities. When discussing abortion, Shapiro approaches the topic with philosophical hypotheticals, sidestepping the urgent realities faced by pregnant individuals lacking access to healthcare. His logic-driven rhetoric is a guise that masks the real human cost of policies affecting women’s rights.

    This pattern of rhetoric does more than provoke controversy, it contributes to a social climate where women’s voices are delegitimized and their struggles trivialized. By positioning himself as “too logical” for feminist discourse, Shapiro reinforces a toxic environment that blames emotion rather than addressing entrenched sexism.

    Understanding Shapiro’s misogyny is essential for recognizing how media figures shape public perception and normalize disrespect towards women. His words have consequences, contributing to broader cultural issues of the gender inequalities women face.

    Here we document and provide space for those targeted by voices like Shapiro’s to share their truths and challenge the narratives that silence or diminish them.
