More Than a Monster
If you can be seen for more than your sex appeal
Can I be seen for more than my desire
Or can only one of us be empowered
If I become the monster you think I am
Will that quell your anger
Or justify your crusades
Is this the penance I'm to pay for the crimes of my forefathers fathers?
If I say I'm ashamed
If I say I'll change
If I apologize for the treasons I have yet to commit
Will I still be put in the stockades
If you tell me what I have to say
Or what I have to do
Can I be spared the noose
Or will my precession be lead by my hangmen and accusers
After my last rites are read by the mutineers
Who know firsthand the savageness of civility
And chosen to submit
In a world where you're more than an object
Can I be more than a monster
