| 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. « return. |
