"patriarchal" poems
Feminism is not a bad word It is more than four words If you are a woman if you are a man If you believe that gender equality Is important, if you stand by your mother When she shouts, “I am equal!” Then you are a feminist. And I’m tired, I’m tired and I’m frustrated That the patriarchal society we live in Would rather demonize equality Rather than let it stand tall as the statue It deserves to be. All it means Is you believe that women and men are equal That they deserve to be treated both fairly and just And I trust- That the only image of a feminist in your mind Is one that hates men, that burns bras, that simply get in the way. And sure there might be a few of those, yes But I would like to ask you Since when did one represent the whole? Since when were all white Christian men Devalued, dehumanized because of Jeffery Dahmer? If I were to follow your logic If we were all to follow your logic We’d have to lock up every single one of you All because a few of your fellow men Perverted an ideal that at the heart of it was good And please be good To your feminists please know that it is not a movement To strip people of rights but to grant rights to those who have been denied Feminism isn’t a bad word It’s a word that holds an ideal That genetics that genitalia do not dictate Whether or not a human being is held to the American standard of equality.

Feminism.
When people ask if you're weird, or tell you, or want to believe themselves strange, eclectic, or odd. It's vaguely disgusting to me, cringeworthy in a mild degree. We think we're so different, but we are not. The individualism of people should be and is comparable to the individualism of ants. Who looks at the anthill and sees something in particular, something behaving specifically "uniquely" from every ant and every anthill? Why do you believe in yourself? I see this, as a conversation about depression, and your partner does not respect you but instead wants to tell you how they feel worse, or have it worse, or "understand" more about the affirmation or situation. A person looking for individuality through a lens of misery, anguish, and sadness, is truly alone in their minds, and missing the reality that these depressions exist without them. The statement, "you are not alone" is an attack, or an offense to these people, because it says "you are not as unique as you think", it strips them of their identity and individuality. This is true of many ideologies and affirmations. I quit individuality, this constricting sense of holding everything of yourself in center, to be a drop in the whole, something fluid. If you split your affirmations from yourself, you'd see we're all the same; Affirmations are just currents in the ocean. I look at myself; and people see a man, a radical feminist, and sometimes a musician. As labels, these each have their own presupposed notions, [especially, "man" or "male" in the patriarchal gaze] which hardly, if ever, are true, but as affirmations, when I consent to using them, these are no longer stereotypes that constrain me, but similarities that I realize I can embrace or shut out in others. Affirmations do not make me more unique, but similar to more people. If I remove these affirmations to try and get to my "true" center, my purest form of self, I see I am without meaning. This is why I quit Individuality.

I'm struggling with what it means to be a woman. Does it mean that I am always in competition to be the top of my species? Does it mean that I need to be perfect without a single curve out of line in order to find love? Does it mean that I am only defined when owned by a man? Does it mean that I can only find purpose in childbirth? Does it mean that I will forever live in the shadow of men? Does it mean that I am an object invented solely for a man's pleasure? Does it mean that I'm forced to confine to gender roles and live in someone else's story? Does it mean that I'm supposed to accept it when I'm harassed from across the street? Does it mean that I'm supposed to lie there silent when he puts his hands up my skirt? Does it mean that I am only worth 77 cents to a man’s dollar? Does it mean that I am defined by my looks rather than my intelligence? Does it mean that I will never be capable of holding a major position of power due to my mood swings? Does it mean that I am defined by how many men I have had *** with? Or does it mean something else entirely. It's difficult learning to love being a woman. Obvious and damaging disadvantages are visible to observers. We are regarded as second best, property of our man. We are erased from history, our pain is minimized and forgotten. We are oppressed and have to fight for our rights. We are afraid to walk the streets at night, afraid for our lives. We are harassed without care and without penalty. We are ***** and murdered for refusing proposals. We are expected to live on the sidelines as a housewife whose only priority should be her children. We are expected to keep quiet in situations of domestic abuse. We are expected to be perfect, and pretty, fresh for a man’s picking. We can’t even advocate for our own equality without being demonized. There are times where I wish I wasn’t a woman. Being a woman comes with innumerable expectations, pressures, and responsibilities. My existence is not defined by a man, or by the patriarchal expectations that have been placed on me. I am breaking free of my confinements and I’m not afraid to admit that, I'm struggling with what it means to be a woman. And that's okay. //sarahmann

What does it mean to be a Chicano/Latino in the US? What does it mean to be Black in the US? What does it mean to be a minority in the States? You know what that means...it means that we have a lot to prove   As in the words of Booker T. Washington: "When a white boy undertakes a task, it is taken for granted that he will succeed. On the other hand, people are usually surprised If the ***** boy does not fail. In a word, the ***** youth starts out with the presumption against him." Now in a society where institutionalized racism, Or racism without racists, prevails We are disenfranchised from even being considered youth. We are a bunch of wetbacks, idiots, moron...you name it, Where failure is expected of us... ...but enough is enough, we should not abide to the stereotypes And stigmas that society stamps on our foreheads. As a matter of fact, I do not ever recall giving this white patriarchal society My blessing to call me whatever the **** it decides to call me. We are here to take manners into our own hands, here to do whatever the heck our heart desires. We are here to create the change that we wish to see in the world. We are here to become the few & growing positive statistics that we fight for. We are here to create voice and shed the light on those wins that we take to our hearts. No one is here here to reflect the stereotype that this ****** up society Tries to slap us with on an everyday basis. We are here to change perception of who we are and where we stand in society. We are positive statistics...not a stereotype.

I want to get hit by a BMW. I want to get hit by a Mercedes. I want to get run over by a Porsche. Something big. I want to get smeared against the pavement by a Cadillac Escalade. I want to get hit by one of those big ******** who drag gasoline across the continent, but I want the driver to be a manic psychopath. I want him to stalk me on the sidewalk and then run me over slowly. He's not any coward, not like those bald patriarchal Corvette drivers in polo shirts tucked into khakis. No, he's a great fat man, a hairy beast with a crooked stare that slows the pulse on impact. I want the police to cringe or get scared interrogating him, and haul his truck somewhere to be inspected. I want the price of gas in nearby areas to go up by at least fifteen cents for two weeks. I want to get hit by a BMW. I want to roll over the windshield, and drag under the bottom for about ten yards. I want to separate at the middle and leave organs on his left side view mirror and hanging on his hood ornament. I want to seep blood deep into his car, and when he turns on his heat, he'll smell my blood full blast in his face burning. I want to wreck the car inside and out. I want to get hit by a car with a McCain sticker on the bumper. I don't want to get hit by some middle class Ford or Honda, or someone's shit-level Chevy or beat up jalopy. I want to get hit by a BMW. I want the driver to make his tires scream like banshees, and leave four long streaks of rotten burned rubber on the asphalt. I want him to step out in business attire, and gasp, inwardly. I want to flip off the sky, because my aim is bad, and call him a coward for hitting the brakes. I want him to think, "What did I do? Is he Okay? What am I going to do? What if I lose my license? How will I get to work? How will I pay for this. Does my insurance cover vehicular manslaughter? I'm not alone right? I'll get through this. I'll survive. I'll just be another statistic. That's all."

Purple velvet curtains mimicked purple proses of long dead authors Auteurs and Anglophiles expressing desire, the desire for Desiree and she danced, she danced. Christie too, she danced, she danced Kick, snare, kick kick, snare, she danced rhythmic hypnosis Daddy watched from the bar, banal dance of the bandits And Katzarina, baby in the back, dances for love Fatherless child begging attention Dance no more my dear soul, for you deserve more Lecherous lounge acts, the men in ties Order another round, girls gather around Please me, dance for me, ****** and bashful The purple velvet reminds them of mother Cruel institutions that decay our psyche Patriarchal pesticides in pasta and porridge On the side of the mango, matriarchal monotony Oh stop this pretentious pillaging of poor prostitutes You are but a boy at the gates of existence, fear not, for the father and the mother shall hold your hand in the heavenly harem.

Disregard My Hypochrisy For a Moment
You can see it already: chalks and ochers; Country crossed with a thousand furrow-lines; Ground-level rooftops hidden by the shrubbery; Sporadic haystacks standing on the grass; Smoky old rooftops tarnishing the landscape; A river (not Cayster or Ganges, though: A feeble Norman salt-infested watercourse); On the right, to the north, bizarre terrain All angular--you'd think a shovel did it. So that's the foreground. An old chapel adds Its antique spire, and gathers alongside it A few gnarled elms with grumpy silhouettes; Seemingly tired of all the frisky breezes, They carp at every gust that stirs them up. At one side of my house a big wheelbarrow Is rusting; and before me lies the vast Horizon, all its notches filled with ocean blue; ***** and hens spread their gildings, and converse Beneath my window; and the rooftop attics, Now and then, toss me songs in dialect. In my lane dwells a patriarchal rope-maker; The old man makes his wheel run loud, and goes Retrograde, hemp wreathed tightly round the midriff. I like these waters where the wild gale scuds; All day the country tempts me to go strolling; The little village urchins, book in hand, Envy me, at the schoolmaster's (my lodging), As a big schoolboy sneaking a day off. The air is pure, the sky smiles; there's a constant Soft noise of children spelling things aloud. The waters flow; a linnet flies; and I say: "Thank you! Thank you, Almighty God!"--So, then, I live: Peacefully, hour by hour, with little fuss, I shed My days, and think of you, my lady fair! I hear the children chattering; and I see, at times, Sailing across the high seas in its pride, Over the gables of the tranquil village, Some winged ship which is traveling far away, Flying across the ocean, hounded by all the winds. Lately it slept in port beside the quay. Nothing has kept it from the jealous sea-surge: No tears of relatives, nor fears of wives, Nor reefs dimly reflected in the waters, Nor importunity of sinister birds.

We are manufactured landscapes, constructed through naming nouns – we celebrate difference. We are compelled into being one or the other, like a nail or a hammer. We reference nature through motherhood, voluptuous in her national pride narrative, her lips red pucker supple metaphors like her fertile ground, her belly always pregnant ready to plant desire in discourse. We forget her industrial miscarriages, her toxic tar-sulfur consumption, her global half-bred garbage in words left unsaid, her ***** laundry in patriarchal hands. We forget her midwives, her toiling underpaid workers who support generations of waste who spit up truth in plastic mouthfuls, who regurgitate material narratives to celebrate flesh in mythic wholeness. When will the nation, earth and world step from its subject of motherly pedestal and name its androgynous existence, its forgotten lifelines?

Why I’m not “All About that Bass” So I’m in my car cruising down i-49 When I hear a song with a kickin-baseline *I'm all about that bass,bout that bass no treble, i'm all about that bass I'm bringing ***** back go ahead and tell them* STOP Excuse me? When did ***** leave? How did ***** get there? Was ***** on vacation? Where they at tho? Yeah my moma she told me don’t worry about your size* But not because in a patriarchal society I am valued for my ratio Of hips to thighs as handle bars for my man to “keep me grounded” But because I was beautiful anyway I am not the number sewn into society like the waistband of my jeans I am the number of times I look into the mirror and say “hey **** And if society is too lazy to know that beneath these eyes but above these hips And behind this full chest theres a heart Lets be real Were not going to blame Meagan trainer She probably didn’t even write this song but why are we idolizing these who only look to sexulize the femaile body instead of holding us to a higher standard and just think you are perfect, thank you pink we can be stronger, thank you Kelly And no matter what we are beautiful, thank you christina Why aren't these the women we are idolizing? Because according to hot 107.9 its all about the ***** I am not something you can put into a box something you can stereotype Just because i have big thighs and a ***** to match doesn't mean i want it to be pointed out or catcalled every chance there is. my body your body everyones body is their own and deserves to be treated like its own perfect stronger more beautiful self. i am strong i am perfect i am beautiful my hips don't belong to you my ***** does not belong to you i do not belong to you And thats why im not all about that bass

Why I’m not “All About that Bass” So I’m in my car cruising down i-49 When I hear a song with a kickin-baseline *I'm all about that bass,bout that bass no treble, i'm all about that bass I'm bringing ***** back go ahead and tell them* STOP Excuse me? When did ***** leave? How did ***** get there? Was ***** on vacation? Where they at tho? Yeah my moma she told me don’t worry about your size* But not because in a patriarchal society I am valued for my ratio Of hips to thighs as handle bars for my man to “keep me grounded” But because I was beautiful anyway I am not the number sewn into society like the waistband of my jeans I am the number of times I look into the mirror and say “hey **** And if society is too lazy to know that beneath these eyes but above these hips And behind this full chest theres a heart Lets be real Were not going to blame Meagan trainer She probably didn’t even write this song but why are we idolizing these who only look to sexulize the femaile body instead of holding us to a higher standard and just think you are perfect, thank you pink we can be stronger, thank you Kelly And no matter what we are beautiful, thank you christina Why aren't these the women we are idolizing? Because according to hot 107.9 its all about the ***** I am not something you can put into a box something you can stereotype Just because i have big thighs and a ***** to match doesn't mean i want it to be pointed out or catcalled every chance there is. my body your body everyones body is their own and deserves to be treated like its own perfect stronger more beautiful self. i am strong i am perfect i am beautiful my hips don't belong to you my ***** does not belong to you i do not belong to you And thats why im not all about that bass

THORNED CROSS OF SCARLET TEARS, OH HOW THY HAVE KNEELED TO THOU THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. THOU SMOOTH BEADS THAT SWIRL AROUND THOU NECK OF THE HOLY SON, OH HOW THY HAVE REPEATED “OUR FATHERS” AND “HAIL MARYS” FOR THOU PATRIARCHAL CREATOR ABOVE. LOVING HANDS THAT SHALL SHOW THOU THE LADDER TO HEAVEN, OH HOW THY BELIEVES WINGS WILL PREVAIL OVER THOU TAIL OF SATAN. CIRCLES OF GOLD AND ASCENDED WINGS, OH HOW THY AWAITS FOR THOU REDEMPTION THOU SHALL BRING. FEMININE CANDLES TO AWAIT THOU FEMININE ACT OF BIRTH, OH HOW THY LIFTS THE FOUR CANDLES FOR ALL THOU IS WORTH. THE WINE THAT CAME FROM THOU WATER, OH HOW THY SHALT TELL THOU MIRACLE TALE TO THOU DAUGHTER. WHITE AND BLUE ROSES OUR LADY OF HELP REQUESTS AT HER FEET FOR HER BIRTHDAY, OH HOW THY BUYS FLOWERS FOR THOU NEXT TIME THY AND THOU MEET. HEART PROTECTED BY THE SHIELD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT’S GUIDANCE, OH HOW THY NEVER BECOMES A VICTIM TO SUBSIDENCE. WATER THAT SWIRLS INTO THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, OH HOW THY REMEMBERS HOW THE SON SAVED US IN SIGHT. BREAD THAT ENTERS THE BODY AND THUS THE SON HIMSELF, OH HOW THY REMEMBERS TO REFLECT IN THYSELF. EYES TOWARDS THE SKY IN HOPE OF MIRACLES, HOW THE LIGHT IN THY VISION RETURNS SYMMETRICAL. PAIN THAT DISAPPEARS LIKE THE AIR FROM THY LUNGS, OH HOW THY REJOICES WITH THE WORDS THAT ROLL OF THY TONGUE. PRAYING FOR THE HOPE THAT THOU SAVIOR PUSHES UNTO THY SOUL, OH HOW THY GETS CLOSER TO THY GOAL. REMEMBERING THE GRIM THAT THE CRUCIFIXION CAUSED THE SON WITH GRACE, OH HOW THY IS STRUCKEN WITH TEARS DOWN THY FACE. INVISIBLE MORTAL WINGS THAT SHALL ONE DAY BE SEEN AND RISE ABOVE, OH HOW THY BELIEVES IN THE REDEMPTION BY THE DOVE.

Gotta pull my hair back But can't look too masculine When I get on my knees To **** his **** Let the black mascara run Down my pink cheeks As I think about Everything but this moment He says he likes what he sees He likes what he feels My thighs are aching **** no teeth Well...maybe a little Not like I'm gonna get anything Probably sore knees and A mouthful of **** That tastes like bleach I'll cry about it later Have to finish strong So he can finish strong And prove the patriarchy Really loves a **** Who will get on her knees Not a strong woman Who stands on her feet

Patriarchal ****
How many people ****** in this room? Hopped up on speed or coke Throwing their heads against the walls Until they cracked like piggy jars Crutch in a crescent I lost a good friend because I couldn’t bear her ******* random strangers As if *** meant more than friendship **** these patriarchal structures Disneyfied landscapes Monogamous nuclear values This world is wretched And I took a part in it

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS" lord of the rings fanatics, typical Somehow controlling thousands of people turned us all into Gandalf I guarded the food, you two the door Most people don't tell you how healthy it is to assert yourself, They crave passivity, fear aggression Assertion doesn't mean aggression Patriarchal society How good it feels to stand tall Huge like a mountain, wise like a wizard If we are Gandalf you're the ring I hope you get thrown into the pits of Mordor

Assertion
Tonight, my snowed in heart has frozen. It's numb, lost and broken. With minutes left, yet no one to call, this bachelorette lifestyle has taken its toll. Search for greener pastures loses its charms, on nights like this when the bed is cold. Staring at a picture of a stranger, I can simply sense the danger, of rushing into a compromise, by settling for my parents' choice, of whom I should spend the rest of my life, and all I can do is.... sigh. Alcohol, an ideal solution, but my room is painstakingly dry. Several lighters lying around, but not a single cigarettes, I could just cry. Reminiscing a walk in town, where commercialism attempts to sell love, tying the end of Christmas to the start of Valentines, and why I cannot afford any of the above. Having gone astray, losing my right to pray, noticing how when they stay, I end up walking away, makes me suspect a divine intervention, threatening a life of damnation, with no means of escape, because it's too late. I'm in critical need of a saviour, a hero, a warrior, to feed my patriarchal upbringing, to be that **** Prince Charming. Enough good looks, to keep me hooked, and anaesthetize my heart, for the inevitable ripping apart. Wit enough to hypnotize my brain, so the pain won't stop me from loving again, and yes, that is what I want to do, until this life is through. My snowed in heart could do with some warmth, someone, light a fire, soon...

Snowed in, heart...
Manic Pixie Dream Girl, I'm sorry I slaughtered Your sweet-heart You tasted like electro-magnetism when I pulled  the sword from inside you like ******* symbolism In an anti-synchronistic fashion I lured you in Led you on and  broke the law  of attraction It was supposed to slay the dragon not the anima All you wanted was to make me feel alive  without drugs. I gave into temptation And let the patriarchal door  Of oppression  Smack your ***  on the way out The fire of my ***** went to my head  And I killed chivalry dead Long live debauchery You just wanted to be the light of my life Now it's the shadow And I ******* in light  of your bloodshed.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl (reprise)
every day brings such magic such disappointment where did things go so wrong energetic shifts female male exhaustion weighs heavily waking to the patriarchal ******** how weary i am of fighting the status quo one wonders why others opt to check out of this manifestation deep deep eons of exhaustion tired of fighting the contemporary masculine mindset tired of swimming upstream when did it become so common to dismiss the sacred feminine? all beings carry within them both energies being guilty of dismissing my own feminine energy i now pay the karmic debt for that way painful after painful encounters chips away at my soul the soul incarnated here weary is this soul of interacting with males tied to the current cultural norms in most societies while appearing different they quickly become like all the rest tired am i of seeing the unlimited potentional in these small beings it steals my energy it constricts my soul there HAS to be another way... one that reveres the feminine.... in ALL

exhaustion fills my very being
A wizard of words, he created from nowhere, a wonderful space;         the novelist made         his characters play out his wishes, through every little action, he penned felt euphoric beyond words. When one among them  clearly his blue eyed girl on whom he showered a lot, his thoughts, writer's craft              and  much much more,   to make  her   well shaped, a cynosure, unexpectedly turned cheeky and crossed limits, the novelist got terribly annoyed. *In the dead of night, during a rendezvous with her paramour the character had a horrifying end. She fell prey   to an assassination plot, hatched by the  patriarchal novelist*

Character flaw
I keep seeing her in post-traumatic flashbacks back to back she's bound in a little black dress Tearing through the mayhem the mosh pit of my mind To save me Some punk princess archetype always in another castle castrating the ******* symbol Because she's 'O so liberated ...So I decorated her With a pearl necklace Old patriarchal habits die hard Honey Sweet Nectar Ambrosia Summoned from my sacral chakra Come my Goddess Come my Goddess Come
