Egality

The word sounds like a preda-Tory bird
and yet the eagle does not own the sky
as every old imperium will try
since every tyrant is a power nerd
who sees himself as the ownership god
in all of the Toddler Property Laws
of male ego trapped in menopause...
as sympathetic as the worst jihad.
 
And so the French wrote up...The Rights of Man,
which should have included the ladies too
since they knew as much as any man knew
of ingredients for a freedom plan
where wrens and robins, and the little tits,
out sing the eagles with their equal wits!
