<div class="pbox"><enter><br><strong>downset - ritual</strong><br><br>Do you know what it is like to run? Do you know what it is
<br>Like to live in fear? Because she knows what it's like to run.
<br>Because she knows what it's like to live in fear. Rape ritual.
<br>How can I stand in silence while you are raping my sister?
<br>Ritual! Throw it in the wind because I ain't with that. Say,
<br>What have we done with mother, sister, daughter, lover? Beat
<br>Them down to submission, into that corner of constant fear.
<br>Humanity reduced to a sexual commodity, objectification,
<br>Pretty faces. Molded imagery damn they drop the dirty mack
<br>Demands. She's more than booty to me; bypass her sexuality.
<br>Tradition, your sexism is what you want me to learn. Surrender
<br>Gender hatred, fade it to kill it, compassion returns. 1 out
<br>Of 3, and they say my sisters are free, incarcerated by hat-
<br>Red. Propagated by sodomny, continual ritual victimizing my
<br>Sister. Physical rape is psychological murder. Ritual! Jenny!
<br>Ho! S***! Trick! Bitch! Buddy! Terms that burn in our popular
<br>Brutality. That media camera's at you, trying to show you
<br>What's up. Illusion magazine fantasy got you feinding to bust
<br>A nut. Body identity suffocates in her nudity - she's dying
<br>Inside. Fashions asking won't let her be. Strip her to flesh
<br>For apathetic male ego. You bet the set ain't down with your
<br>Wak. Rape ritual! We got to meet this hate with love. We got
<br>To meet this hatred with love. Why do we fall for it, fuel it,
<br>Sexual violence equality? Please. So-called alternative move-
<br>Ment statistics never confess her wounded aloneness, internal
<br>Inferno, locked away calm diminishment. Sharon stone, you
<br>Ain't all that. Madonna, you ain't all that. Sell you shallow
<br>Shock value charade is wak. Sister, put a fist in what's
<br>Expected of you. Deny! Defy! False definition of you too;
<br>There's no excuse for this brutality or this lack of humanity.
<br>Rape ritual. I say I throw you into the wind. I say your
<br>Traditions mean nothing to me.
