Villanelle: In What Way Has the Sexual Revolution Freed Man

Villanelle : In what way has the Sexual Revolution freed Man In what way has the Sexual Revolution freed Man One man's still at the helm where one woman pulls the purse strings Political structures still rest authoritarian Is Reich's Function of the O.ga.m lame duck also ran Do power struggles at all levels bounce bums on bed springs In what way has the Sexual Revolution freed Man Strikes protests manifestations mere excuses we ban Face-saving measures populist fire-brand broken wings Political structures still rest authoritarian Does kiss-tail orgasmic reflex replace sublime élan The chimère of suppressed masses condemned to strum heart strings In what way has the Sexual Revolution freed Man Who hoists family father-figure as revered top sultan No authority at home spells chaos at source well-springs Political structures still rest authoritarian Sans moral consciousness the substratum cracks in ev'ry man Abuse an innocent child he'll in turn abuse all beings In what way has the Sexual Revolution freed Man Political structures still rest authoritarian © T.
