You have been crying
begging to be freed
expressing the need
to be released
from the patriarchy
while praying on bended knees
in a place of worship
to an imaginary father figure
who was used
to justify the abuse
you are trying to fight,
the man who gave men the right
to own you, and other slaves to.

You think you are
fighting the people in power
but every Sunday
you head back that way
One step a head
then two back towards
a fake future that
only happens when you are dead.

Yep, you will never break free
of your hated patriarchy
until you reject the farcical
spiritual rituals of the men in black
who feed you crap
take your cash and never give it back
just to tell you what a fictional character
wants you to do.
