Patriarchally Poems | Examples


Premium MemberLilith

And you didn’t make me 
I formed myself 
From the periodic table 
with a little help 
You added slurs and 
blackened my milk 
Turned me into a scapegoat 
and my flesh to filth

And you never broke me 
I smashed up myself 
Unseen fractures
healed wrong by themselves 
Broke the mold early 
was looking too good 
Patriarchally cast 
as the whore of love 

And you cannot destroy me 
I’ll do it by myself 
Sick of covering up
what never turned out 
The unseen twists
and labyrinth of lies
I’ve no f*cking soul
a doubt, or denial 

And you’ll never fix me 
It’s down to myself 
I look in the mirror 
pondering why else
All this potential 
rotting away inside 
Necrotic failure 
unrepairable child

And I cannot be forgiven 
I’ll find a way myself 
For being too perfect 
lacking self respect 
On freak show earth
a man made planet 
falling to bits 
You pious can have it 


greatest story ever written ~ will not be penned with a kids mitten 

apples perhaps said she to Adam ~ my fruits were never forbidden

a fig leaf rose one more fell ~ as the whore of man Lilith got bitten

Premium MemberThe Naked President Speaks

Dear EveryThing AntiObama Donald,

It is a humbling,
not so Great Again, truth,
is it not?
This statement,

"Don't ever talk to
[or about]
The President
that way"

Sounds and feels much 20/20 different
when you are a belittled
and/or challenged 
and/or blamed
and/or shamed President
judged as insufficiently Winner effective,

Than what you may 20/16 see,
and longingly return to competitively golden touch,
when you were belittling
and challenging
and blaming
and attempting to shame
as too multiculturally weak
to be resiliently strong,
without offering a shred of evidence
for your narcissistic bias,
running as a RePublican candidate
against a healthy democratic Presidency.

If you had this Win/Lose divisive Presidency
to do all over again,
how might you respond 
to your own now wiser advice?

Don't ever talk
about a multiculturally health-wealthing
democratically inclusive
and cooperative economic
empowering
and enlightening Presidency
that shameful
and WholeEarth unpatriotic
straight white patriarchally privileged
ChosenPerson narcissistic way.

Premium MemberOld Wellsprings

From whence springs
eighteenth century wellsprings
of democratizing
healthy cooperative identity?

In that urgent time's revolutionary uniting States
too soon to celebrate
Independence Day
again
and patriarchally
again
and military-industrially
again
and corporately sponsored LeftBrain academically
again

Caught,
and soon virally aflame
in France
and other
older
conserving royalist
loyal feminized serf serves master estates,

Becoming now a marriage
of independent Fraternity
and interdependent Lady Liberty
repatriotic rematriation
of strong and flowing governance
of self and other,
ego and eco,
yang craves yin
for liberally, lavish health
and conserving disciplined safety
becoming more interdependent democracy
of sensory spiritual
and sensual natural 
EarthTribes,

Strong of communal therapeutic re-identifying,
not defying,
Flow of sensory free associations

For Loyal patriots
reincarnating
CoPassionate eco-matriarchs.

Premium MemberAbortions of Choice

It's easy to see
It's more important to be
pro-life 
than pro-choice
if one must prefer to choose
to win or lose 
robust healthy life.

Are you pro-life
or pro-choice?

Both.
Pro-choosing resilient EarthTribe life
for everyone.

Do not confuse pro-choice
with pro-death,
Or pro-life
with anti-integrity unhealthy choice.

If pro-LifeChoice
emerges on our Winner's Table,
then the list of what we are democratically for
becomes a health agenda
of resonant life fully lived
with self and other compassion.

And all the diversely negative anti-life non-choices begin,
for me,
with anti-life risks of nuclear holocaust,
anti-climate risks to resilient health,
anti-life automated commodified industrial ballistics
designed to kill
as rapidly
and vapidly
as irresponsibly possible.

This list of patriarchally-driven abortions of healthy choice
against pro-life matriarchal healing humanity
goes on and on most violently
then abusively
then neglectfully
then unconsciously
uncommitted to never aborting LifeChoice
democratic advocacy
respect
dignity
passion
enchantment
wonder
love
sacred integrity.

Premium MemberIt Depends On the Light

What LeftBrain sees
in YangWhite male
and YinBlack female,

RightBrain sees and smells and tastes and hears
in YangRed
tries to control the YinBlue 
co-arising Bed.

Yin BlueGreen
remains our Sacred Queen
Sabbath,
SkyWoman,
Holonic Harmonic Karma,
Holy Matriotic Spirit.

And so they speak
bicamerally bipolar
without each other.

Patriarchally not-listening
quite as nonviolently
as more dipolar Matriarchal WiseElders
now less bothering to speak
about growing extractions
for further self-perpetuating
patriarchal Yang-climatic pathology

Feeling overcrowded,
under-valued,
fighting for Earth's more resilient polycultural
educational systems 
cooperatively deep ecology.

Active slow-grow pacing
within Earth's Holonic Spirit
of and for
Restoring Therapeutic Educated Justice

As YangRed-YinBlue
EquiValent
Secular/Sacred GreenPeace.

Premium MemberInterpreting Dreams and Nightmares

I have always had a fondness for the narrative of dreams.

Why this may be so
I could not speak.

I do recall a former life as a psych major
reading Freud's Interpretation of Dreams.

Recognizing his iconic topography
yet wondering about his training
in phylogeny,
predicting one's pre-adolescent healthy ego
and ecological restorations
of our species' cooperatively maturing habitat
throughout our multicultural
matriarchal-dominant rebirthing story.

I hope to feel
this timeless sacred narrative
of Earth's reweaving Sabbath,
regenerating Eden's therapeutic dreams
of polyculturing Paradise.

And, 
not quite so many patriarchal pathological nightmares
emerging shared paranoid and claustrophobic punishing vocations
so vulnerably naked without potential integrity,
somehow not yet patriarchally here
with matriarchal now,
co-arising.

I LeftBrain dominate with far too retributive
non-redistributive neglect of justice days
manifesting competitive WinLose assumptions,
haunted by LoseLose nightmares
of a merely secular mortality.
I RightBrain dream 
in restoratively manifest destinies toward WinWin
ecopolities of cooperative therapeutic praxis.
