(Having once stood on the front lines of the war against women, only to see the same battle fronts form again, I now stand in support of todays women and men  who have taken up powerful positions on the front lines.  I am left, however, to deal with the rage within, which I can only turn over to the poet.)

Men of a Darker God

deluded religious men
armed with righteous swords
fashioned by cruel and crafted god
in full thrall worship  
of power and penis
proudly pursue
control over women
foolish endeavor
proven futile
pack the courts, pass your laws
dream long dreams
of obedient women grateful
eager to do your bidding
there will always be a few

pitiful, pathetic dreamers, you
stupidly arrogant men, to think
women can be stuffed again
into decorative jars
awaiting your caress
before emerging to grant
your every wish

you unleash a power
you will regret
that will emasculate you
leave you alone in the night
with only your own hand
and the thin comfort
of your created, vengeful god
