An ode to the power of men!

honor
pride
supremacy
a show of strength
authority to subjugate
brandishing the disloyal
no
not rape
just a statement
i can
i rule
i make the rule
i have the might
your right
is washed away
in your tears
your cries
subdued
in your fears
you are marked
demonized
shamed
because
you cannot
fight
resist
protest
you are too small
not a woman
not even human
you don't count
you belong
below me
to be crushed
to be thrust
torn apart
as a spectare
a lesson
a promise
that centuries stand still
though earth
is turned on its head-
nothing has changed
nothing will
i rule
i make the rule
