The Missing Link - Napalm Death

An integral sense comes

with belonging to a scene

supposedly absent of barriers

(when sexism is only

one of many).

Earnest words

calling for unity of the sexes

when she’s still the chick, or stupid bitch

(ridiculed for showing an interest).

Hidden indifference

strikes an emotion reaction

when you see an animal being abused.

Yet un-noticed when a woman

is abused

in the same way.

The links of oppression

stem from the same degradation

but to one,

our eyes remain closed.

Actively abusing the rights of one

whilst fighting

for those of another.

The scene may hold a different name,

but the roleplays just the same.

Equal rights are fine,

as long as she’s in her place.

Outrightly denouncing fascism,

whilst oblivious to it taking place,

is condemnation of standards,

all an act to save face.

Unity, a stark ambition

when our abuse

surpasses recognition.
