Once It Was Lest We Forget

It is interesting

that the pomp and ceremony

of Anzac Day celebrations

has increased in exact relation

to the death of the actual diggers.

Private School

Boys will be boys

testing out their prowess

on their female teachers

with clichés of sexism

upholding ideas of misogyny

because they are young

and inexperienced.

What happens when gay

is normal and mainstream?

Will those boys be boys

testing out their prowess

on their male teachers

with clichés of sexual behaviour

upholding uncomfortable ideas

because they are young

and inexperienced?

Will the men handle it

better than the women?

Will the male teachers dismiss it

as boys being boys?

Brave

Once you remove labels, 

all that is left 

are matters of the heart!

Be brave.
