Unisexes

Utopian urgencies were the rage
in this fantasy of equality
spilled by surrogate sages
over the minds like some divine nectar
that was expected to cure any social ills.

Slide show presentation
coupled with a monologue of idealism,
soon there would be no risk of sexual innuendoes,
no danger of impropriety
while a new climate of harmony
was forged out of the chaos of lustful lures.

Somebody actually thought it was a good idea,
every person dressed in drab gray jump suits,
no more male or female gender tags,
it was all done by names changed to numbers,
after all who could be sexy
when know as number five,
course sixty nine was denied,
there was no reason to elevate that risk.

How they thought this would solve so many problems,
love just kept as a sterile embrace,
might have been insane,
but they were on a roll
after their success with their environment campaign
manage to get a whole two people
to stop throwing old batteries in the trash.

This was the fruit of a government grant,
an exquisite funding of true vision
if you didn’t include any facts,
if you didn’t delve into truth.

Our hearts were sewn unto that reverie
where tomorrow would be such harmony jubilee
of same haircuts and uniforms,
at last a blow for unity that truly would bear fruit.

Nobody naturally poked beneath the facades
from committee meetings and plans
spreading this mantle of progress to the world.

It all worked in their minds
until the head of the committee
ran off with a gal half his age,
the secretary ended up expecting
after a private meeting with some guy
who said he used to be a monk.

This scandal they tried to gloss over
until another member of the group
got busted for making porn flicks
in the meeting chamber.

So the noble crusade ended,
even though the skin flick was a success,
well not for the traditional idea of unisex,
but she did believe in lovers of both genders,
which I guess counted for something.
