Bleed Like Me

the body of me
you can’t get enough of
trying to get inside of
politely or otherwise
trying to control 
always telling me 
I have no control 
policies policing
packaging and fleecing
theologically replacing
the body of me
all because you can’t 
bleed like me

Anil Deo Date: 5/12/2022 10:39:00 PM Maureen, beloved Sis, we enlightened beings preach & need empathy. Not sympathy. The latter is for one, microcosm. The firmer , firvbebefitbof all/ the macrocosm. Some partners in bed, live, lust ... Are priestly, ministers, to control the beautiful lengths women can take us. They are scared little boys.

Jeff Connelly Date: 5/11/2022 9:54:00 AM Maureen...? If I cut myself I can bleed just like... OH... now I know what you mean. : ( : | ... When I saw the poem title I was thinking Rolling Stones but this poem won't grow moss on it (dried lichen to be used as a woman's monthly necessary pad) Thanks Maureen. I'm like a sponge feeding off of you... (or soaking up after)... Ahhh... oooh oops... Jajaja HUGS...

David Kavanagh Date: 5/10/2022 4:36:00 AM Yep so many men just look at women as vessels, maybe blood vessels, and tend to overlook the plain truth, you cannot have one sex without the other, which in my book makes us all equal, good one super Mo, now your rocking again, cheers David Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/10/2022 8:28:00 AM Thank you David. I’m feeling a little more myself, working on it. Cheers! xomo

Rico Leffanta Date: 5/8/2022 11:40:00 AM "Only Women Bleed" was one of my late wife's favourite songs. Hard to believe that God of the Middle East established a matriarchal society, but mankind has always known better than their god what is best for mankind! Glad to have your back! Aloha! Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/8/2022 12:01:00 PM Ah, yeah. It’s all about control of course, par for the course. Matriarchy would not have stood for all this malarkey, mother earth and all her inhabitants would have enjoyed respect and we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in, matriarchy was never a hierarchy. xomo

Susan Woodrow Date: 5/8/2022 8:34:00 AM it does seem that way though I never cared for the bleeding part of femaleness and all the pains it produces :) Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/8/2022 11:58:00 AM The history of religions replacing religions, where do we come from where do we go, the blood was originally hers, but she didn’t die, men having to outdo of course, he does. I am so looking forward to post estrus myself! Out damn spot! ;), xomo
