SUPERIOR

There is anger toward women
In our Country.
Men want us to look like
The playboy bunny.

You can see it in our current
Legislation.
No matter how you view it,
It's discrimination.

Men are women's biggest
Fear.
Women feel safe if he is
Queer.

The consequences could
Be deadly.
All because she wasn't
Friendly.

It is taught in schools,
They call it education.
What is really going on,
Is indoctrination.

A set of beliefs handed down
To the next generation.
We carry these with us from
birth to cremation.

Forget the words and actions,
It's the intention.
Mind-boggling almost beyond
Comprehension.

The entire time we live under
Their reign.
The time has come to break
The chain.

In order to keep us feeling
Inferior.
They need us to believe they
Are superior.

lived a long time and had several relationships, you begin to understand the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what is more important, is that you have a good-looking heart. Nice rant, well thought out poem. ~ Geezer.

Hello!
While men I personally know in my life strongly support women, I'm always shocked with the attitude of others. You have described much of the torment well. It is frustrating, and very "mind-boggling." I don't know if the word "anger" applies for me, as much as "ignorance." The last stanza felt a little misplaced. I agree, this is a strong rant, and well thought out, but after "the time has come to break the chain" it felt like there may be a reverberating breakthrough at the end. Maybe switch stanzas 8 and 9?
Thank you,
Lavender
