“Not All, But (Naskaristana 2785)

Not all doctors are butchers,
but butcher doctors are status quo.
Not all coppers are corrupt,
but corrupt coppers are status quo.

Not all politicians are warmongers,
but warmonger politicians are status quo.
Not all preachers are mindless fanatics,
but fanatic preachers are status quo.

Not all men are abusive perverts,
but toxic masculinity is tradition.
Not all white people are bigots,
but bigoted white beasts are
the planet's heaviest historic burden.

Not all stereotypes come from fear and
ignorance, some have basis in historic facts.
Question is not, why you face such stereotypes,
the real question is, are you living as the
new standard against prehistoric conventions!

so I could stand as an undomesticated beacon,
doesn't matter if no one comes to my aid,
I have no desire to be worshipped by gibbons.”
