Incongruent, incandescent, impolite as he took all he desired and then decided to reject it, slipping away into the night. Such is the plight of our female counterparts sold into marriage like objects to be bargained with. Females: though our mothers, sisters, daughters and nieces are solely seen for their beauty or measured by their usefulness. This is patriarchal poison at play, whose toxins remain in society to this very day, as though the women that birth us are somehow weak and should be the cause for our own decay. Centuries of subjugation have resulted in gender roles and norms that are as inconceivable as ogres and trolls. Through conditioning at every level, girls grow into insecure women convinced that they are the devil. Held hostage by semen which can only be supplied by male demons, at their behest; surprise, we suddenly become heathens. In my ideal world, women would have the only power to decide their rights not the victims of misogyny disguised as religious doctrine. The suffragettes accomplished some although chauvinists still hold the reins and write the laws, as they guffaw from the seats in city halls around the world, as though they can have any say in abortions or female reproductive organs. Since the beginning of time man has had its hands in every purse, his voice heard whilst women were forced to whisper. I demand an end to the injustice, imbalance will only continue if we do nothing and let it and then it will completely wreck us.
Time stood still for nary a soul, it dragged its feet, aching and old. Blistering heat that made us melt, we were once softer than silk felt. Hallowed hearts wind whistled through, covered in bruises, black and blue. Hardly broken, but maybe bent, running on empty and love spent. There comes a day in all our lives, when our failures cut deep as knives. But you shall remain a triumph, you stayed with me, like a science. Words were whispered, curses, we'd shout, until the blood drained from our mouths. Yesterday—softer than silk felt; seems like all we do these days is yell.
