The most Dangerous Man

I am the most dangerous man in this room

I tick all of the boxes

I am young

Straight

White

And happily assigned by my doctors

If I get old I will be even worse

Because old white men are destroying the earth

I am the soldier pinned down in the plaza

And I build the tanks they throw stones at in Gaza

I am the racist that fears immigration

And I cut the legs out from his education

Make no mistake I am a vehicle of imperial hate

And it’s not beautiful or natural if I use a toy to masturbate

My sex is base

I’m an animal salivating

Dominating you is an expression of power

If I marry you

I become more likely to kill you than any stranger

I might walk you home

But I am the danger

If this disgusts you

And makes you cry out

#wellnotme

If enough of us say that then one day it won’t be

But right now

I am more likely to be killed by a man like me

Be it murder or suicide

When men don’t care

And boys don’t cry

It’s not just our victims who die
