When Heard dared to question her partner,
men suited up in outraged armour.
Battling patriarchy,
this ‘feminist’ malarkey,
makes women prey and men the archer.
Kaaliammal Palanisamy...
Count to be nascient grandmammy..
Though pecuniary gravy of grandpa made family patriarchy,
The fish gravy of grandma maintain the family matriarchy.
You came into my bed
The texture of the doona, what delight
We smashed the patriarchy
Lived on the commune
Gaia, Theia, the moon
Why don’t people say what they mean?
Tell me anything, you said.
and so I said it.
You laughed and went to bed
“Handmaid of Patriarchy”
the garden rezoned
Embattled virility
misogyny cloned
As Delilah revolts
a new Samson on scene
One half of the whole
left to drown in the stream
Each genders new quotient
to minus the plus
A He without Her
— the destruction of us
(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2025)
Women in my family
Born and raised in patriarchy
Sentenced to bitterness
Speaking less to apologies.
Women in my family
Silenced from a tender age
Loud in ignorance
No one is up for the change.
Women in my family
I wish they could see
Homophobia is a disease
They should quit judging me.

Do we really want that patriarchy,
or all that malarkey with matriarchy?
What we need are guys and gals,
gals and gals and guys and guys,
who share the task of daily love,
the loving struggle, the daily shove:
But the world’s so foolish, not just a stage,
to jaunt and play on night and day,
whatever “archy” mal, or pat, or mat
we choose, let’s not loose our loving crews.
O' Woman !
You are not some Damsel in Distress ,
And Surely no less than an Empress .
Never Let Patriarchy Wither your Madness,
Isn't it Minute for all the Life and Gladness ?
The time has come to awaken the Inner Goddess in You,
For the Audacity often comes out of the Blue.
Now You are Stronger after Surviving that Storm,
Unleash Your Inner Beast for now is the time to Perform.
If we acknowledge Mother Earth,
How is it we discount her daughters?
If might doesn't make right,
What have we left out of the world?
What do we make of this world… that was made for us?
If we look up to Father Sky,
Is that why we look down on Mother Earth?
Or have we put words in the mouth of the wind,
When we mouth the words of our fathers?
Have we not learned from whence they came?
A beautiful paradise,
My freedom.
The golden sunbeam,
My freedom.
The darkness that calls me
Upsets me next moment
Because of the reality
Of my confined liberation.
And today I ask,
If this is free
And the utopia I wish for
Is it just greed?
Patriarchy, discrimination,
Terrible crimes
Want to shut them all for a while and feel just fine.
So that in the end
I can see the beginning of my little paradise.
School uniforms
are the last, tired gasp of a
dying patriarchy.
You see a DARK bra
under my blouse? Oh, God! Who
knew girls wore those!
School uniforms, with
long sleeves, aren't made for
pandemic washing.
A guy told me that
girls in school uniforms are
a core **** motif.
I told him his grasp
of **** tropes must rival
that of our school board.
School uniforms are
meant to UNsex otherwise
provocative girls.
p.s. I write short stories too =]
I gave you life
I gave you the means to live
I gave you an identity,
Through you my ancestry
and legacy will be traced.
You are my dreams
My aspirations,
My future is vested in you;
I am your past
Your roots
Your conception.
I am the foundation
on which you stand,
Your past is vested in me.
You cannot forsake me
Nor can you
disown or shun me,
For I am the anchor
without which you will
drift into the wild seas of life!
