Masculine Destruction

As males we possess
the potential
to create
to join with
become a part of
another -
these are expressions of life
and love.
Instead we fashion
phallic shaped
and formulated
implements –
with explosive force
they spew forth lead.
Intoxicated on
our testosterone
we seem to have forgotten
our feminine side
our ability to
nurture
and comfort.

(Sometimes I want to denounce
my masculinity when I see these
phallic implements).
