woman can exist
without man
in fact
she shall
ever thrive
however
man cannot exist
without woman
oh how
he endlessly writhes
woman can exist
without man
in fact
she shall
ever thrive
however
man cannot exist
without woman
oh how
he endlessly writhes
dispatched
to the hungry umbrage
spindly wraiths
spill ruination
arms athwart
absorb nullity
boots and RIFs
soon disavowed
whistling timbres
so precise
held brimstone fists stripped
knuckled white
waried faith
lest bullets showered
dulled the Duster pastorales
plucked like florets
bare and breathless
strafing nightly
saw them felled
prowess at imperil’s onset
sweat poured down
a poor man’s brow
loud as telegraphed
impressions
dispossessed
like wingless flies
birds took to the sky
in errant
bursts of aril
none were spared
crimson horrors
void of rinsing
from the hands
of shellshocked minds
blind are days
since hell became us
land of freedom
man as god
sadist thieves
left grief besotted
rotting leaves
pinned to dead air
it matters not
what sinewy strength
you strut
with such braggadocio
the artifice
auspiciously adorning
your display
what conquest
you proclaim
in compensation
for your lacking
what brazen
domain
you should presume
over mother nature
what flagrant disregard
that you would show
your fellow
human
the speed
at which your steed
feeds dust
to sate your weary foes
the dubious dimensions
nor ornateness
of your codpiece
the arbitrary
shackles
in which you confine
your pawns
the clamor
of your calls
to claim a throne
by way of bloodshed
it matters not
for you
will never
be a man
without first
embracing feminism
