Weinstein Effect

A Poem for the Empowered

The subject: Weinstein.

From allegations of harassment to rape,

Over fifty women have come forward to say

Rapists cannot get away with using tape

Resembling a dollar bill to end hearsay.

Ordering room service, to find you in a dressing gown,

Sundance Film Festival after-party requests:

Enter and watch as he showers down.

Mass producing NDAs; no press, no stress.

Clooney, Cumberbatch, DiCaprio, Delevigne –

Guess “indefensible” behaviour is the start

Of your fall from power in the Complicity Machine.

Weinstein. $100,000? To set her apart?

Always flashing your dick,

No pun intended, you’re a prick.

About the Creator

Mollie Watson

I’m an English Literature student with too many ideas. I love wine and my dogs, but hate being wrong. Give me topics, or even a sentence and i will write something spontaneously on that. Have a good day!
