all hail the male

all hail the male savior, alas,
he has blessed you with the answers just like
the old answers before;
you see, for, he was right in the first place
and all along, justified
with each blow, with each black eye, broken nose,
torn vulva and broken heart he has strived
to teach you the way of shallow waters,
of golden palaces, slave labor clothing,
and various shiny things dug up by one arm garbage boys.
he knows what you want before you want it,
he's thought your thoughts
and felt your feelings for you
and knows what's worse to suit everyone's best.
you see, little girl, you know nothing of philosophy,
of those intellectual gymnastics that have proven
the sanctity of every necessary atrocity.
speak not
and forever hold your peace.
or forever he shall hold your humanity
for ransom.
complain not, for he nurtures you
(like livestock).
