MY BEST POEM  delivered by hand, into their pockets & with love to Pat and Josh summer of '22

                                                            Congressman Pat Ryan, that is now, perhaps Josh Riley next time                      

                                                                       NO BLAME!

but understanding

and to realise

Patriarchy

is what we’re all in

it’s what conditions and programs us

and no less

to the place you are going!

to Washington

and Wall St and Tech..80% men

so just to remember

that while we women were bleeding

and conceiving and birthing and breastfeeding

that of course you men were

historically, in charge

male mammals

bigger and stronger

so it was for men to protect and provide

though not so much any more

thus the furious identity crisis

of White men today

losing their power

as they must

they’re so scared

that they’ll kill democracy

to defend from the Feminizing and Browning

and thus now the necessary humanizing

of this country so what counts most

for humanity

but way back when men made the rules

 men made language and laws

and religions

and priorities

and policies

and politics

and Constitutions

and more linear thinking

and reductionism

and now the disconnecting of AI

men decreed borders and boundaries

and military and muscle

mens brains more defensively

 mechanistic

more driven by metrics

more liable to hostility

less empathic

by nature

than we women’s are

so think of

how different 

the world would be

had we women had voices

all these centuries

so yours for the courage to make change!
