That Gut Feeling

[seren]

She wasn't like us;
She didn't wear the burka.
She had no air of shame.
She was flamboyant, loud, and
Obnoxious; naturally, we had to
Dispose of the body somehow,
So we took it to the butcher's
Late in the evening and ground it
Up into patties, like a pig. Perhaps
You've had her. Anyway, she just
Wouldn't conform; she couldn't because
She was too different from the rest
Of us, and we gave her no chance.
She fought fiercely, but the four of
Us outnumbered and overpowered her.

Poor girl, but she deserved it.
She had the external organs of a man;
Her gender was ambiguous.
She wore the boy's uniform.
She didn't even want to be accepted;
She had a girlfriend and a mustache.
She wouldn't apologize; she retaliated.
So, we dragged her through the mud,
With her cussing, and showed her her
Girlfriend, tongue lolled out and pregnant
Stomach sliced open, and she
Wept and called us obscenities while
We literally cast stones at her
(Literally cast stones at her).
Poor girl (now she's a carcass)--
Poor girl (now she's a carcass)--
Poor girl, but, she had it coming.
That's what she reaped for
Refusing to shave her legs.

I like it.

I like the idea that I get from this. Sometimes though, the lines don't fit together. But I like the homosexual idea, and how it IS rejected in some places. Though now I get the feeling its more of a fashion trend than anything...

[seren]

In this instance, I was aiming more for a transsexual (not yet fully gone through the surgery) or intersex person than for lesbians, but yeah, the lesbian parallels are there as well. As for her girlfriend being pregnant - you can take that as the girlfriend having cheated and gotten pregnant by a man, gotten pregnant as a surrogate, or in-vitro fertilization. And I hear you about the "fashion trend" thing. Suddenly everyone seems to think that they can flick off a little switch and they'll automatically be gay or bi for the day.

Nevertheless I always love your poetry. As I do this one.

Well see the thing is, everyone has a slight attraction to the same sex. It just depends on how slight it is. Sometimes it can be an envy thing, or a full fledged love affair. Its not like a light switch thing, that goes on then off. There can be loves though, that cross the line of everything. Sometimes friendship is more or less, and sometimes romance is more and less.

And even though homosexuality is against the Bible, I consider it fine because by the words in the Bible, we're all already sinners.

Thank you.

That attraction could just as easily be friendship or appreciating physical beauty, though, so in that aspect, yes everyone's technically attracted to the opposite sex but in the actual sense of sexual and emotional attraction, it's different. Anyone can have sex with anyone and enjoy the feeling, but it's the question of whether or not you really enjoy it in every sense. Do you love him/her? Do you feel emotionally-connected to him/her? It's just irritating when someone claims to be something they're not or know anything about a culture/religion/sexuality because they think it'll make themselves better in some way.

As for the Bible, I just say take everything with a grain of salt. I personally am not religious and don't feel compelled to follow any of its written dictations, but I do recognize that others have a right to see what they will and use it however they want. Seems like everything's a sin, and if I'm by nature so sinful, then I figure it really doesn't matter who I fall in love with or what I decide.

It's true that it doesn't matter. For what i believe all one would have to be is ask for forgivneness and live in the light of God. But I don't want to press anything onto you, even though Evangelism is part of Christianity, I personally don't like changing others.

Last night I got asked if I was horny, and when I replied why they would need to know (a person I hadn't ever met before in my life, and online) they said that THEY were. This utterly disgusted me. And they persued me more, asking for internet sex. At this point I was ready to slap them, but ufortuantly, I hadn't the chance seeing as it was online. I said some really repulsive things to them, cursing and stuff. But I really remember asking if they had someone they at least KNEW that they could get with.

So. The point of my ramble? I don't think that I'll be a virgin for very much longer, but there IS a person I want to give it to. I trust them more than anyone else, and I love him. I know it's a sin for me to have sex and not be married, but I feel it would only be right, even if he and I aren't ever married. Inconclusion, SEX SHOULD BE SAVED FOR THAT VERY SPECIAL PERSON. No matter how corny that sounds.

It makes me happy to hear you say that. Because there are a lot of people who antagonize and say things like, "Oh, you're insertreligiongenderorientationracenationalityhere? I'll pray for you." It comes across as patronizing, like they think they're playing God or basically saying, "You're so screwed up that you need me to pray for you." This isn't to say it's always offensive, like in the case of funerals where the person's like, "I'll pray for your family"--that to me is completely different.

Internet sex. I can see the allure, but I'd be too paranoid to ever do it. And I'd rather have physical contact, y'know?

Virginity can be measured in so many ways it isn't even funny. Some people count kissing as not being completely virginal; some say if you're a lesbian and you only have sex with women then you're technically an eternal virgin; and some say that if your hymen breaks you're not a virgin (if you exercise at all, it can break, so this doesn't mean much to me). I just think that people should be careful and make sure that they've taken all precautions. Condoms, dental dams, birth control, Saran wrap, diaphragm, morning-after pill, abortion, or--in the case that one wants children--love, house, steady income, a job... Sadly, most don't think that far ahead. Honestly, though, my virginity's not precious to me; I wouldn't have sex with just anyone, but I could care less about it being the first time.

Wow. Paragraphs up there. O.o
