The creature with dual lofty milk glands
You sustain his existence with your (re) production
Your knowledge knows no bound
Your ability is divine
Yet, he rides on you to his ego home

You nurture him from cradle
He’s non-existent without your support
He came to being because you let him
Sacrificing your blood and placenta
Yet, he perpetuates your serfdom

Your priceless sweat prepares him for life
Feeding him with the last grain at home
Bearing him children at the vicinity of death
Believing him when he was nobody
Yet, he calls you adulteress when his specie lures you

The governance of the world is on his shoulders
Because you let strength be his from birth
And make him the head in the home
Accepting his wisdom and following his course
This has brought you wars, hunger and stagnation

He is on a mission to nowhere
This attempt to subjugate and demean you
Is a seed of (his) destruction!
If only he is aware of himself
Now, he will halt this patriarchy
Because when you are finally down
He is finally stagnant
And will extinct when you end

If only he can see this peril now,
The end of the end will be avoided
All the lost will be recovered
The battle will be gone
And the abled in the head will rule
And sex dominance will end.
