Wenn man mich so richtig hartnäckig tritt, dann mache ich auch mal Musikvideos. Hier eine (für mich) grausame Schnipselei zu Krieg und Macht von 'Rasender Stillstand' einer Dortmunder Punk-Formation die es leider so nicht mehr gibt - thema nach wie vor sehr aktuell.

"Strutted like a little bantam rooster" is a fine phrase, a very Southern one, I suspect. I heard it all my young years, with "bantam" pronounced as "banty." I'm not sure I could identify a bantam rooster, but I know its strut when I see it in a small man trying to convince the world he's bigger than he is, and Lord knows, there are a lot of those little banties strutting around in American culture now, imagining that we can't see just who they are.

Then there's Mary Oliver's "Wild Geese" with its opening, “You do not have to be good”:

"In the religious sect of my childhood, I was constantly exposed to relentless bigotry: sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia—if there was discrimination to be had, it was ripe in that pulpit. Although I knew I was gay and that I had tried to pray that away for years, that congregation had drilled into my subconscious that because of who I was, I was not good."

"As someone who had been forced to go to church three or four times a week for long services, I often longed to be out in the creeks and hills instead of stuck within four walls, listening to a preacher as he beat the Bible and strutted the aisles like a bantam rooster. This poem validated the way I felt when I was in the woods or wading in the creek. The God of My Understanding was best found in the natural world, not chapels or cathedrals."
