You are not just another pussy to be grabbed.

Poetry On Odyssey: To Girls Growing Up In The Age Of Trump

To celebrate Women's History Month, I wanted to write a poem directed towards girls growing up during the Trump Era (but mainly with just the theme of women empowerment). Unfortunately during this time both girls and women have been degraded by men. What I want both girls and women to know is that we are important.

We are strong, brave women who deserve the same amount of respect as men get. I should mention now that this is in no way trying to steer hate towards men, more so continue to voice about the importance of women and push for the support in men doing something right. Instead of fighting over "who is more right" lets fight together on the right side of history.


To all of my sisters,

Not just my cisters,

But my sisters.

I want you to know that during this era,

Where the only thing you are supposedly known for,

Is your smile and breasts,

That you are more.

Your legs may be long like valleys,

And your skin might be caramel,

But that does not define you.

Staying home is not for us,

Or rather...

What we are meant to do.

To all you little girls who dream to become President,

Become President.

To all you little girls who wish to discover the hidden depths of space,

Discover the Universe.

Why should we be degraded to nothing more than objects?

Hands to hold, lips to be kissed?

We are more than that.

What we are, is women.

Girls.

Females.

What we are not are

Darling,

Sweetie,

Baby,

Or pussies to be grabbed.

We are women who deserve the same amount of respect

As you give our so called "president".

So...

To all the little girls who are growing up in this scary era,

I just want you to know that you are more than an object.

You belong in this world and the same respect as everyone else.

While it may seem impossible just remember that

In 2020 we will be able to make a change.

So be the change.

And let's make women equal...

Because this is long overdue.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
