chacky yen - #metoo (spoken word) lyrics

why it is coming as a shock?
i don’t understand why?
oh, you didn’t know that?
which f+cking rock you were living under
because if you weren’t, i don’t think you never encountered these men before
i know you do, ’cause you’re the one who once laughed at their rape jokes, and you had no clue he could have done it, it was just boys talk?
but now that it is out there, you don’t know how to react and you’re not supposed to because now it’s time that the women talk
you listen
listen carefully
and see the repercussions of a joke becoming a reality
of words becoming actions, of an item song becoming an abomination of chastity
a single slang becoming blasphemy
an artform turning into a s+x predators army
and it’s not confined to just an industry who is built on selling misogyny
it’s everywhere where power is in the hands of a man who lacks the basic education that he needed without having to read the books that he read to reach that position, first he needed to learn morality, he needed to sit next to a girl and have a meaningful conversation than going out catcalling and exploring just the physical dimension of his s+xuality
oh! we ruined all of it
we ruined our definition of love with the one from the west
just because they invented iphone, we think that’s the best we can get
no, we had better norms
we had way better ways to express affection
than just running behind pleasure and attraction
and no, i’m not saying it is happening just because of that
it has always been here, it’s just that now women are speaking up
and the stories are getting heard
but let’s not make this about just me too
let this be the norm, not just a hashtag on the internet
let’s not make it a movement, let this be the norm
let’s not coin more terms, like me too, and him too
let’s just speak up, and uncover the suffocating truth
i know the dust are all over the place now
but when it settles, let’s not forget it’s not about gender or s+x, it’s about humanity
when i see these allegations, i can see the suffering behind the closed doors
i can see the wars being fought, inside the heads of women figuring out how to react, to shout or walk away, to keep mum and make a distance or lodge a complaint
why is she coming out after ten years?
oh come on, it’s cause all those years she didn’t live, she was dying with the trauma every single day
she was trying to forget it and move on, but she couldn’t
while the one who did it couldn’t even be able to build a conscience to even feel sorry about the actions
i don’t know who’s wrong or right here
but if it’s right
i hope the justice is served
i hope we as a society stop shaming the victim, and start shaming the accused, and the ones found guilty
to set an example for everyone who would go down that filthy road, or even think about it sitting in their brothel turned abode
but if it’s wrong
if under the blanket of me too, some are coming up with personal falling apart due to
some personal conflicts, relationship complicacies, corporate bullying or unreasonable hatred i sincerely urge them to
make an effort and don’t just write something just because you can do
stop and contemplate, if you’re adding to the movement or pulling it back
it’s easy to make yourself a victim, and accuse
but please ponder over it and don’t misuse
just because you made a bad decision, been cheated on or had a bad experience
don’t confuse or shuffle the definitions
cause it’s important to listen to those who need ears
and this constant traffic of hoax allegations is pulling back the gears
and it needs to be up, up there to its prime
to shuffle the dynamics and make “this is how it is” to a lawful crime
the time is finally up, for power to step down, and morality to be held up high
for women to roar out, not sit in the dark and cry
