Poem: Patriarchy — I am sure, her, him or they, if you read this, you have come across men who think their highest achievement is being born a man.
I am sure, her, him or they, if you read this, you have come across men who think their highest achievement is being born a man
They may have a far lesser understanding of life but always pretend that they are tapped into the universal plan
And of course they don’t see women as a fellow human but someone to lord over
Their upbringing left no scope for learning, and they bring their own bar down lower and lower
Men who feel the need to be right, always weather with their daughter or son
Who like to have the last word or else all hell breaks loose with abuse and the fallacy of their being comes undone
As they age, they become these egomaniacs whose energy can fill up a very large space
Their show of this faulty power is an absolute disgrace
These powerful men, mind you, are also super dependent
There isn’t a single task they can complete in independence
But will have an opinion on how things should function around
If being a man was a job, they would have been fired or clowned
Humanity is the primary requirement of being a mammal called human
Such men and the women who are enablers of them are the reason of chaos and confusion
Being raised by two imperfect people so steely and strong, as a human and not just a woman
The least I can do is raise my little one the same, who will question everything inhuman.
I may sound a simpleton trying to be poetic of a problem so dread
But if my simplicity takes me to my humanity, I would rather be simple instead.
