The Hidden Gems of Misogyny

 

What happens when the feminine aspect

^{is covered in shroud}

^{invisible unseen unspoken unborn}

^{the Handmaid knows in silence}

^{the poet weeps short verses}

^{naked words made illegal}

^{feelings broken and torn}

^{dissociated so that when}

^{someone asks}

^{are you alright}

^{there is only one answer}

^{fine thank you}

^{I am fine}

^{don’t worry about me}

^{as if}

^{as if there is no voice}

^{whispering through the eyes}

^{of the homeless}

^{and their mothers}

^{until you discover}

^{you were always alright}

^{always you}

^{beneath the layers}

^{the clothes and costumes}

^{designed to cover you up}

^{from head to toe}

^{beaten anytime your flesh}

^{escaped the cloth of denial}

^{the power so fragile}

^{it is easily offended}

^{demanding forever}

^{until the planet is quiet as death}

^{praising cruelty over and over}

^{until the birds are finally silenced}

^forever

^{where no-one can observe}

^{the change in climate}

^{no-one can see the dawn}

^{because the womb of existence}

^{has been silenced forever}

^unless

^{the life line is restored}

^{and loved}

^{feminine and masculine}

^{coming together}

^{for the sake of}

^life.

^{May it be so … one day.}
