So much for the patriarchal society and the patriarchal ways of life <br />The man goes home drunk from the Barroom and beats his children and his wife <br />And the police slow to interfere in such matters they see it as a family affair <br />Abused women always too many and abusive men now don't seem rare. <br /> <br />Life in a patriarchal society is surely not Utopia on Earth <br />Some men come to power since power they aspire to and others are rulers by right of birth <br />And in a patriarchal society women must play second fiddle for equal work they get less pay than men <br />Such a society to the advantage of aggressive males only the gentle cannot hope to win. <br /> <br />Patriarchal societies ruled by egostical males who thrive on war mongering amongst their fellow citizens they only spread fear <br />To cover for their inadequacies they talk of terrorism and the threat of terrorists and people believe what they hear <br />They have the cheek to talk of freedom though many in their Country are not free <br />Of one Human right that all should have and that's freedom from poverty. <br /> <br />A matriarchal society would be better though the few women in a position of power <br />Are ruling their Countries as males would they too live for their glorious hour <br />But a true female leader would be different for all of her people she would lead <br />She would not neglect the poverty stricken Suburb a leader of that sort we need.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-much-for-the-patriarchal-society/
