War Of Gender Poem by Alice Anne Gordon

Mistress of all of life’s situations,
Greer-like warrior; ancient emotions.
Labyrinth of self deceit – denial
of archetypal scales that sway, the man
must gently dominate the woman. Once
The Queen, the soul of our creation, the
Matriarchal power, control: Fear of loss.
Matriarchal power, control: Fear of man.

Rise up oh strengthened wom’n, lay down your spear
of hate. Now stem manipulating blood,
Refrain from holding child as shield. Please halt.
Cease to spread your guilty bullets that sting
The hearts of men, the war of gender end.
Matriarchal power, control: Fear of love.
