Patriarchy defined

Patriarchy defined:
The attempted ownership
Of all the pussy.

What is a wife?
A piece of property
Propagating
Sons who acquire wealth
And daughters known as
Dowry.

What is a woman?
An object of desire
Designated as
Domestic,
Consigned to duty
Doing dishes and
Polishing your Polish sausage.

What is a mother?
An emotional complex
Complicating
A man’s need to spill seeds
In any moist garden,
Someone to complain about
Cuz you haven’t pulled them weeds.

What is the land?
Another piece of property
Partitioned
Into monetary value
And raped for all she’s worth,
And when she can’t put out
She’ll swallow the leftovers
Like a cheap whore,
But you’d just call it a landfill.

What is the sea?
A saline solution
Absorbing
Poison from upriver,
Rivers whose naturally curved bodies
Were carved into straight
Stiff channels that cram chemicals
Coming upon the sea
In wads of waste.

What is an emotion?
An interference with manly
Machinations
That are stillborn in childhood
When you learned quickly
That feeling things made you
A pussy.

What is a pussy?
The object of patriarchy
Prizing
Possession of power in the raw.

It’s something OB/GYN’s transform
Into medical maladies,
Something Proctor&Gamble
Insert bleached cotton phalluses into,
Something some chemistry dude
Made odor-free,
Something that mustn’t smell,
Must not offend,
Like the forest
With her unkempt hair,
Like the sea
And her wet fish.
It’s for sale and it’s on DVD,
It’ll put you in jail or set you free,
It’s a sin and it’s God-given too,
Don’t worry about heaven,
You’ve got a muff to dive into.

Patriarchy defined:
The attempted ownership
Of all the pussy
With no regard
For integrity
Nor gratitude.
