We've created a warrior society to outlast nature
teaching people to threaten their kids
with punishments
taking males out of the nursery
to learn they are on their own
and all they have is muscle
fists and fear to keep them onside
inside alert to the dangers all around
on other islands across the sea
in the sky on the moon
where we cannot keep an eye
on all the threats they face.
Also created the pecking order
different levels of authority
waiting to punish us
as soon as we step out of line.
And reasons to fear strangers
and men who are articulate
like university professors
like politicians with deep voices
throwing out endless lists
of behaviour to be afraid of
warnings beyond warnings
stacking weapons to overcome
as well as splitting up nations
into smaller nations
headed by angry men
building muscles all over their body
except their minds.
No their minds are too dangerous
they have been known to think
to question to write to publish
forget the dumbbells.
Now beyond civilization
isolated and silent
they think too much
dictionaries are everywhere
on desks
and social media.
How can we control thousands
of thoughts running roughshod
over news manufactured
for peace and calm?
At a time where women threaten
to get ever more educated
learning new ideas
or old ideas that threatened
a smooth running nation
where articulated egos
men with agendas
with fists still in gloves
knowing how women
afraid enough to learn
the art of teaching
beyond university
no longer convinced
grandfather will protect them.
relying on ideas new and old
to show how easy it could be
to organize nations
minds ready to work for
the greater good of all
for sanity and justice
respect and love
as if this was the song
we were meant to learn.
