Devolution Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Devolution



Overwhelmed by a sense
Of animalism and deeply
Ashamed of such primal
Expressions of aggression,
You work against my protest
Of an automated society.
~
Unable to give love or
Affection, you give money.
It makes you feel motherly,
The mother gives milk
And you give all the bread.
You are the Breadwinner.

Beautiful explanation of the role of a man and the role of a woman. Adam was made first. Why do women think they're superior, when made second?
