The Matriarchal Love Protest

THE MATRIARCHAL LOVE PROTEST

On such a time as this, 
When the faithful air 
In the cupid enclave
Becomes vulnerable 
To the fouling presence
Of the all intrusive diffusion
Of the strange breath of the foreign god; 
When the dreaded local deities
Could no longer curb the patriarchal excesses
Of the men; 
When the regulatory safeguard 
Of patriarchy is wantonly let loosed, 
The big masquerade, who hitherto had been in her full elements of shamefacedness, leaves the background, 
To claim her territory in forewarning 
To the accompanying goddesses 
In the temple of the visiting cupid god of Valentine.
